Lakes Literacy

About Lakes Literacy

Lakes Literacy is a task group that serves the communities in the Lakes District, BC. Our purpose is to promote literacy and lifelong learning throughout the Lakes District. We are a group of community partners who work together to coordinate a number of literacy initiatives. Lakes Literacy is supported by Decoda Literacy Solutions. We gratefully acknowledge the financial support of the Province of British Columbia through the Ministry of Housing & Municipal Affairs.

We respectfully acknowledge that our organization works within the traditional and unceded territories of the six First Nations of this region: Ts’il Kaz Koh First Nation, Lake Babine Nation, Skin Tyee Nation, Cheslatta Carrier Nation, Nee Tahi Buhn Band, and Wet’suwet’en First Nation.

Literacy Outreach Coordination

With financial support from the Province of British Columbia, Decoda Literacy Solutions partners with community literacy task forces and local steward organizations to support the work of Literacy Outreach Coordinators throughout the Province. In Burns Lake, a part-time contract position is supported with these funds to coordinate literacy programs locally. New initiatives and partnerships are continually developed in response to community needs, and Lakes Literacy is grateful for the support of local organizations and businesses to provide project funding.

We would like to thank School District 91 for acting as the steward organization for literacy outreach in our region. SD91 staff support Lakes Literacy through valuable in-kind contributions, including administrative assistance and budget oversight.

We would also like to extend our gratitude to Burns Lake Public Library for its ongoing partnership and generous in-kind support. The library provides office space, storage space, and program space that enable Lakes Literacy to deliver services, host community programs, and maintain a welcoming presence in the community.

The support of these community partners plays a vital role in helping us strengthen literacy opportunities for learners of all ages throughout the Lakes District.
