We are pleased to share with you “Ready or Not... Perspectives on Literacy and Essential Skills in this Economic Downturn”. MCL commissioned the study in March 2009 as we wanted to gather baseline data on the effects of the recent economic downturn on literacy and essential skills organizations in each province and territory. We’ll be conducting follow up surveys online in the coming months.
The researchers interviewed 35 people working in the literacy field. Their perspectives played a key role in the development of the content of this report.
Please share the report with any of your colleagues, board members, funders or people you work with in other sectors. Click here to download the file.

The Adult Learning Network (ALN) is pleased to announce its up-coming Lifelong Learning Forum that will be held on Sunday, November 7, 2010, at the Marriott Hotel in Ottawa. You are invited to participate in plenary sessions to discuss the strategy to implement a Canadian Lifelong Learning Network. The Forum will also host workshops dedicated to the topic of the analysis of a culture of lifelong learning. The goal of the Forum is to provide a venue where Anglophone, Francophone and Aboriginal learning communities will join to share promising practices, discuss new research and be informed of the results of UNESCO’s CONFINTEA VI. The idea of an Adult Learners Charter for Canada, as well as suggestions for activities related to Adult Learner's Week 2011 will be included.
The event will precede the Canadian Association for Prior Learning Assessment (CAPLA) Recognizing Learning conference held November 7-9, 2010 at the same location.
