Meetings and round table discussions were held with key stakeholders groups including immigrant organizations, representatives from the Aboriginal community, non-government organizations and agencies, representatives from the francophone community, and business.
These sessions followed a format similar to that of the learner and practitioner discussions.
Public sessions provided opportunities for individuals and groups to make oral presentations regarding the adult literacy strategy in a public forum. Each presentation was limited to 20 minutes. Presenters were encouraged to provide a written copy of their presentation at the public meeting.
Public sessions were scheduled in Brandon, The Pas, Winkler, and Winnipeg and were advertised in newspapers, announced at the Pan Canadian forum, posted on the adult literacy strategy website and referenced in all consultation correspondence.
Written submissions were submitted through the website, by email and by regular mail. Written submissions also were received at the public sessions. Submissions were received from those involved in the literacy field, from stakeholder groups, and from concerned members of the general public.
