Community Resource Research Projects

The Centre for Literacy enjoys close ties with organizations in a number of sectors, and welcomes every opportunity to work with others to coordinate events, projects, research and programs that promote literacy and learning in the community. We favour sustainable initiatives that provide true opportunities for capacity-building among different segments of the community.

Free Assistive Technology for People with Learning Disabilities (2009)

Through consultation with expert providers, we identified a selection of simple assistive technology programs that are available free of charge. We have provided workshops about these tools face-to-face and through videoconferencing, facilitated by LEARN Quebec.

Lifelong Learning Collections (2007-2008)

Through this program, The Centre for Literacy is providing access to a new range of high quality, easy-to-read materials for adults with literacy difficulties seeking materials suited to both their reading level and their reading needs.

Library Resource Trunks 2008-

The Centre assembled trunks of books selected in consultation with the user groups, which are being loaned for six-month periods to CLC libraries in Netagamiou, Mecatina, Gaspé-Percé and St. Paul’s. At the end of each loan period the trunks are located to one of the other sites, thus providing ‘fresh’ materials at regular intervals.
