The Urban Society for Aboriginal Youth (USAY) and Calgary Learns have published an Indigenous Literacy Assessment. From May 2020 to June 2021, USAY conducted an information-gathering project among 152 Indigenous adults within the City of Calgary focused on literacy. The findings from that process are found within this document and aim to further the understanding of literacy challenges and provide recommendations for better service provision. The goal of this document is to deepen understanding so that future projects can make informed decisions that improve literacy skills among Indigenous adults by better understanding their unique needs and the environments of learning that they exist in. This project benefited from an initiative grant through Calgary Learns.
