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!”
At home, at work and in the community … literacy connects us!
Literacy Month in September 2022 raised over $47,000 to support literacy programs in BC. Thank you to our supporters.
