We have reached the midpoint of our journey as we have completed 4 of the 8 scheduled sessions for the National Strategy for Early Literacy.  To summarize a successful day here in Fredericton our moderator, Randy Boissonault, discussed the variety of presentations seen and added to his “Four C’s” principle.  Watch the video:

From the presentation by Katherine d’Entremont of the National Adult Literacy Database. From an anonymous source:

“What if we train them and they leave? What if we don’t and they stay?”

The sun is shining here in Fredericton and we have a full house of panelists and presenters here at the fourth of the eight public consultations.  There is an interesting slate of presenters lined up for today.  They include representatives from local print media, economists, social policy research institutes, the francophone community and the Aboriginal community, to name a few.
