P.A. marks Family Literacy Day
Sunday marks Family Literacy Day across Canada but readers in Prince Albert, had a one day jump start.
On Saturday, the local literacy network set up a number of booths at their location in the Gateway Mall.
Kara Thorpe, who serves as family programs coordinator with the Prince Albert Literacy Network explained that events and occasions like the one Saturday provide some opportunities to educate the public on a variety of issues.
“One of the things that the literacy network and literacy in general is trying to explore, is the fact that literacy is not just about reading a book, but it’s also about being able to physically move, being able to budget,” she said.
