Literacy Council York-Simcoe

Literacy Council York-Simcoe Reach out to upgrade your skills in reading, writing, math, computer and employment skills! We honour and acknowledge this land and its people.

We provide customized training programs to assist adults in York-Simcoe to improve their employment prospects, prepare for higher education and build confidence. We want to acknowledge that we are situated on the traditional territories of the Wendat (Wen-dat), the Haudenosaunee (Hau-dee no-show’-nee), the Anishinaabe (Anishi-naabe) peoples, whose presence here continues to this day. We would also

like to recognize the Chippewas of Georgina Island First Nation as our closest Indigenous community and our partners in adult literacy and essential skills training. We acknowledge this land and the people because the first step to reconciliation recognizes Indigenous people. Having a shared understanding of how our collective past brought us to where we are today will help us walk together into a better future.
