NEWS FROM THE PROVINCES...
Laubach Literacy Newfoundland and Labrador (LLNF/LB) is pleased to announce the formation of a new Laubach council, the White Hills Literacy Council, serving the Middle Arm and Burlington areas. It was the proud recipient of the Government of Canada Literacy Innovation Award, of the Flight for Freedom Awards. An English Second Language workshop was held at the end of November in Corner Brook. Sharon Moukperian, from Ontario, provided the training for eleven participants. Four NF/LB Apprenticing Trainers went to Moncton, NB to attend the Trainer's Workshop held there in mid-February. Attending this workshop is part of the certification requirements to become a certified LLC trainer. LLNF/LB will be holding its Annual Meeting on April 18 and 19, 1997 in Grand Falls.
