The Canadian Community Newspapers Association is a proud partner in promoting literacy. In addition to helping to promote the annual Canada Post Literacy Awards, CCNA promotes ABC CANADA's annual Family Literacy Day to its members.

Family Literacy Day, January 27

ABC CANADA Literacy Foundation is the national coordinator of Family Literacy Day, held annually on January 27. This special day promotes the importance of reading and learning as a family with the goal of developing lifelong readers.

Magazines and newspapers across Canada have agreed to champion this project by publishing Family Literacy Day advertisements in their publications.

ABC CANADA is asking every newspaper in Canada to run a Family Literacy Day advertisement. The Canadian Community Newspapers Association is proud to offer a variety of sizes for you to choose from.

ABC CANADA has also provided two ready-to-use articles on Family Literacy Day as well as an article on leading children’s author, Bob Munsch, the honorary celebrity chair for Family Literacy Day. Please advise your editorial team that these are available for inclusion in your newspaper.
