Two staff members from the Fort Resolution Community Literacy Program have been honoured for their work in literacy. In recognition of the successful literacy programs, Barb Miron, the current Adult Educator, received the 2003 Canada Post Award for Community Leadership. The president and CEO of Canada Post called each winner “a role model of dedication, perseverance and understanding of the importance of literacy.”
In 2004, Minnie Whimp, a learner in the program and a literacy worker, received the Ministerial Literacy Award for Tutors from the GNWT’s Minister of Education, Culture and Employment. Minnie was also seen as a role model for other young people in her community.
