IPALS

One of the unique programs we offer to support our new to Canada community through their literacy journey is our IPALS program (Parents as Literacy Supporters in Immigrant Communities). This program is a culturally responsive family literacy program designed to help parents – and their young children – flourish in their new communities. Families learn new strategies to support their young children’s literacy development and the benefits are far-reaching. The next sessions are starting on January 11th and January 13th. at Sweeney Neighbourhood Center (the flyer with all the information is shown below). We would like to take the opportunity here to ask for your help locating families that could benefit from this program. Families can be immigrants or refugees, English speaking or not so good English speaking, or families that you feel would benefit from the program that are not already Canadian Citizens.
