Hooray!
Spring has definitely sprung, and there is little chance of any more of
the ‘white stuff’ falling from the sky. (Unless you live in Alberta!)
As always, the Network gets a lot of information on a wide variety of
literacy-related issues. Information is posted to our AlphaCom discussion
page as we receive it, so that is your best source of current Network
news. Thank you to everyone who contributed to this issue!
Enjoy!
