LLC-Q/LVQ has strived to create a resource directory that reflects prevention activities and initiatives in the Quebec English literacy community.

Many of the organizations listed have adult literacy as their mandate, and have many activities to achieve that end. The scope of this directory is to list only the prevention initiatives.

LLC-Q/LVQ has not evaluated any of these activities. Instead, we leave this up to you as you assess your needs.

The information printed was provided by the individual organizations that responded to our questionnaire. Information was collected and cross-referenced through web searches, brochures, questionnaires and follow-up telephone conversations to verify and clarify information. Every effort was made to be accurate. We sincerely apologize for any errors or omissions.

It is our hope that the resources listed here will serve as a starting point to steer people in the right direction to find the resources they need in the area of prevention.

An extensive listing of websites related to the prevention of illiteracy has been included in this directory, to provide readers with a selection of prevention programs, resources and organizations not limited to Quebec.

Please use the Information Update Sheet (page ii) to help us update the information in the directory. If any information needs to be corrected, or if there are groups/individuals that should be included in an update, please let us know. Your feedback will help keep this directory current.
