Finale of our Summer Season! Books for All with First Book Canada

22/8/2019

0 Comments

 
Welcome to the Finale of the Summer Season of the Literacy Quebec Podcast!

Did you know that 25% of Canadians do not have any books in their home?

In this episode we talk about the importance of affordable learning resources like books with our guest Tessa Eisenberg, the National Engagement Coordinator at First Book Canada (FBC). Literacy Quebec's partnership with FBC helps us to donate books to community groups across Quebec. We learn from Tessa about how FBC's works to fulfill their mission to transform the lives of children in need by improving access to educational opportunities and resources.

We end our episode with some exciting upcoming events, including the Lob for Literacy Fundraiser for Yamaska Literacy Council the weekend of September 6-7, 2019
