Adult Programs, Resources & Education

“Adult literacy is the ability to understand and use printed information in daily activities at home, at work and in the community – to achieve one’s goals, and to develop one’s knowledge and potential.”
Literacy and essential skills development is not something that only occurs during school. Throughout our lives, it’s vital that we learn new skills, improve our knowledge, and increase our literacy – especially in today’s increasingly complex world where technology is moving at an unprecedented speed. Everyone must learn, all the time, simply to keep up with the pace of change – especially adults and seniors. Although the majority of British Columbians have adequate literacy skills, too many simply do not.
