September Literacy Month

September is Literacy Month in British Columbia!

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.

You can be a part of Literacy Month by:

  • joining activities in your community
  • taking part in our Team Trivia Challenge
  • buying socks through our Sock it to Literacy campaign
  • asking your town to Proclaim Literacy Month
