Facts about your campaign
Give details:
Start with information about what you plan to do, where and when you plan to
do it, and who will be involved. Give people a sense of purpose of the campaign
by including background such as:
Why
Over 20% of adults in Ontario do not have basic literacy skills.
A further 24% are not able to read well enough to carry out daily
tasks or find and keep jobs. Literacy skills give people more choices
about their lives, and more control over those choices. They help
people find information, set goals, work with others, solve problems,
and make decisions.
People with literacy skills are more likely to lead healthier
lives, earn more money and help their children be the best they
can be. The whole Province stands to benefit.
Every year, Ontario’s Literacy and Basic Skills programs
help more than 68,000 adults. This is only a small portion of those
who can benefit from help.
Why should my organization get involved?
Whether your organization is a business or a service organization,
big or small, you can be a part of this campaign. For example, you
