2011 Annual Conference

Laubach Literacy Ontario celebrated 30 years at its annual conference June 24th to 26^th at Wilfrid Laurier University, Waterloo, Ontario.  Thirty years of supporting and promoting adult literacy in Ontario is quite a feat in this day and age.  Congratulations to us and our members…we couldn’t have done it without your support. 
 
Over 130 people attended, 40 of which were literacy students.  The focus of three of the workshops was the new OALCF (Ontario Adult Literacy Curriculum Framework).  Other workshops included Succession Planning, Building a Better Board, Summer in Smallywood (Essential Skills Video Game), Teaching ESL Adults, Learning Disabilities and Employment, to name a few.  The various computer lab classes were of great interest again this year. Thanks to all the presenters for their time.

Photos from the conference are now available here.

Thanks to Carol Risidore for volunteering her organization, the Literacy Group of Waterloo Region, to host this event, to Cathy O’Brien for co-ordinating everything and to all the volunteers for their hard work.
