The Canada Post Community Literacy Awards is a national awards program that celebrates the achievements of adult learners and the educators who have helped them learn to read and write. We are encouraging Canadians to nominate individuals from their local communities for either an Individual or Educator award. We appreciate the support of community newspapers such as yours in our efforts to ensure that these literacy leaders in your community get the recognition they deserve.

MISSISSAUGA, Ont. (March 5, 2010) – On April 16, more than 100,000 Canadian youth will participate in the 39^th annual World Vision 30 Hour Famine.

A portion of funds raised by participants will address immediate relief and long-term needs such as providing emergency supplies, shelter, food and the protection of children.
