Anyone seeking to improve their reading, writing, math, and digital skills will continue to benefit from access to free adult literacy programs across the province. Every year, B.C. invests $3.4 million to support the Community Adult Literacy Program (CALP). These funds directly support the literacy programs that help people develop skills in a variety of subjects: for example, numeracy, life skills, and employment preparations to name a few. In the upcoming year, CALP funding will support 102 literacy programs done by 71 providers in 132 communities throughout B.C. These free, community-based programs enable people to gain necessary skills to pursue jobs and further educational opportunities.
