Partners in Literacy
Our member, Chris Snyder recently joined former Lieutenant Governor James Bartleman, Her Honor Mrs. Onley, and representatives from Invest in Kids, in Deer Lake, an Indian Community on the Ontario-Manitoba border, to launch the Dolly Parton Imagination Library. This is a First Nations community of 1100, with about 100 children from 0-6. This programme will provide a book per month to every child between the ages of 0-6 in the community. This is the first time that books will be provided to these children as part of Mr. Bartleman's literacy thrust for aboriginal children.
