September Literacy Month
Each September, Decoda leads a province-wide awareness and fundraising campaign to celebrate Literacy Month.
The campaign highlights the importance of literacy and raises funds to support community-based literacy programs and initiatives across BC.
This year’s theme was “Literacy connects us!”
Literacy Month in September raised close to $20,000 for literacy programs. Thank you to our supporters.
