The Literacy Coalition of New Brunswick will provide leadership to advance literacy, lifelong learning and essential skills for all citizens through partnerships and collaboration with government, educational institutions, business, labour and community.
We’re excited to launch the training for our first cohort in the Employability Skills for the Health Sector (EES-HS) project! Our New Brunswick participants started their classroom training on May 17th and they are looking forward to more! They met in person with social distancing measures in place, but all of their classroom sessions are currently taking place online.
Each year, the Literacy Coalition of New Brunswick sends a call for applications to distribute PGI community grants to literacy-focused organizations, groups and programs across the province. The funds for these grants come from the previous year’s PGI Dinner and Auction event hosted by the Literacy Coalition. Unfortunately, we were unable to hold our PGI event last year due Covid-19, so these funds are not available.
Therefore, our Board has decided to draw upon our LCNB Marian Zaichkowski Endowment Fund to distribute grants to programs that may be struggling during these unprecedented times. Please note that the selection criteria has changed for these grants as they are intended to assist struggling programs.

Appel de demandes de subventions – maintenant ouvertes
Comme vous le savez, la Literacy Coalition of New Brunswick lance chaque année un appel de demandes pour distribuer des subventions communautaires PGI aux organismes, groupes et programmes d’alphabétisation de la province. Les fonds pour ces subventions proviennent du souper et de la vente aux enchères du PGI de l’année précédente, organisés par la Literacy Coalition of New Brunswick. Malheureusement, nous n’avons pas pu tenir notre événement PGI l’année dernière en raison de la COVID-19, et ces fonds ne sont donc pas disponibles.
Cependant, notre conseil d’administration a décidé de puiser dans notre fonds de dotation LCNB Marian Zaichkowski pour distribuer des subventions à des programmes qui pourraient être en difficulté en cette période sans précédent. Veuillez noter que les critères de sélection ont changé pour ces subventions, car elles ont pour but d’aider les programmes en difficulté.

Adult Literacy Week is an occasion to acknowledge the triumphs that many New Brunswickers have and celebrate the importance of life-long learning in our lives.
The past year has been challenging for all of us, and because of the pandemic, many learners have not been able to attend in-class learning. Despite this, we want to celebrate the accomplishments everyone made this year. Even if you were not able to attend a class, your learning journey is not over!
We are also excited to share our Adult Learner’s Writing Contest ebook! We received over 25 fantastic submissions this year, which you can read by clicking the link below.
