OCCL Literacy Outreach Package
Part 2 – Literacy Awareness Presentation

What is the Ottawa-Carleton Coalition (OCCL) for Literacy?

If you are not working in Ottawa-Carleton you will want to substitute relevant information.
  • OCCL is one of sixteen literacy networks in Ontario supporting the work of Literacy and Basic Skills programs in our area. It was one of the earliest literacy networks to form in Ontario and has been in operation since June 1984.
  • It does not offer instruction in literacy but is involved in the areas of
    service planning; professional development activities for literacy instructors; managing field development projects; and organizing and participating in outreach and public awareness activities.
  • It operates the ABC Line, an information and referral service for adults who want to upgrade their literacy and basic skills.

Distribute OCCL pamphlets or those from your region.
