A newly released overview of Ontario's literacy sector networks highlights the ways in which Laubach Literacy Ontario and other provincial organizations provide effective support and coordination for literacy programs in Ontario. LLO and the other sector networks "support their members and consequently their learners in a very targeted manner, providing direct, timely and practical assistance to programs, and thus contribute in a substantial way to the delivery of quality literacy programming in Ontario."
