Adult Literacy Awards


These awards are sponsored by a partnership of Quebec adult literacy and adult education organizations.

They recognize the courage of adults who know it's never too late to learn to read and write or to improve their reading and writing. Whether they see this as their only goal or the first step in a longer journey of lifelong learning, these individuals are models for many.

They also recognize teachers and tutors who work with adult literacy students - often outside the mainstream in unexpected places. These awards give them a public face and acknowledge their role in helping learners make it through that critical first stage.

The deadline for submissions was June 1.

The awards will be presented at:

LVQ Annual Conference
Saturday, October 24, 2009
Maritime Plaza Hotel
1155 Guy St.
Montreal, QC

Winners will be introduced and may read their entry or have someone read it for them.
