Literacy is the foundation of lifelong learning. Higher levels of literacy contribute to better social and economic outcomes for individuals and society. Recognizing this, in January 2007 Government launched ReadNow BC, the provincial literacy action plan, to raise awareness and enable coordination of literacy programs and services in communities. Five years later, the profile of literacy in BC has increased significantly. For many British Columbians, it is now the key to lifelong learning. Please see ReadNow BC's Final Report (PDF, 2.74MB)for a summary of the provincial literacy action plan.
