In Our Words Canadians Reading Together

In our inaugural session, 74 submissions were received and sixty were published in this book. Several learners were given the opportunity to read from the book onstage at The Word on the Street festival in Halifax. The Word on the Street is very pleased to have received such an overwhelming response and support from the participating communities. We hope you enjoy this book as much as we enjoyed bringing the program to adult learners across Nova Scotia. Enjoy!
