The Centre for Family Literacy (CFL) believes that literacy skills develop in families first. The CFL focuses on assisting families in their attempts to improve their literacy skills by developing and delivering family and adult literacy programs in the Capital region; providing training to family literacy professionals in Alberta and across the country; serving as an information and program resource to family literacy professionals in Alberta; raising awareness about the importance of literacy and its impact on individuals, families and communities; and acting as a catalyst for inter-agency support for families.
