The Great-West Life, London Life and Canada Life Literacy Innovation Award
The Great-West Life, London Life and Canada Life Literacy Innovation Award honours innovation in the creation and delivery (or in the development, implementation and delivery) of adult literacy or adult-integrated family literacy programs delivered by a community organization in Canada. The adult-focused literacy program makes a positive contribution to the lives of the participants as well as the community and could serve as a model for other organizations to adapt.
There will be one (1) top award of $20,000 plus travel to Toronto for one representative to receive the award during ABC’s Life Literacy Night in Fall 2012. In addition, up to four (4) honourable mention awards in the amount of $5,000 each will also be awarded. The awards as granted can be invested into the program and/or applied to operating funds.
Share your innovative adult or adult-integrated family literacy program with Canada. Award applications are being accepted until 5:00 PM ET on June 1, 2012.

Enduring WLES models have been developed and implemented in specific geographic locations, such as Nova Scotia and Manitoba, in defined job sectors, such as the construction industry in British Columbia, and in organizational milieus, such as hospitals, in the UK. Why have some models endured? Why have they not been directly transferrable to other settings? What lessons can be learned? www.centreforliteracy.qc.ca/sites/default/files/SUM_INSTITUTE_2012.pdf
