QLWG Graduation Awards

For the past three years, the Quebec Literacy Working Group has given an annual literacy award—usually in the form of a book or a book token–to deserving students in each of our member boards across the province. In most of our boards, these awards are given at the annual graduation ceremonies, along with a personalized certificate to keep as a souvenir of the occasion.

To reach the QLWG rep. in your area and let them know of deserving students in your local adult education centre, please contact Patti Moore at moorep@cqsb.qc.ca.
