"Greetings from the Columbia Basin Alliance for Literacy Board of Directors. In this document you’ll find wonderful pictures and statistics that reveal the broad reach and profound impact CBAL makes throughout the Kootenay and Boundary regions. From the one-to-one tutoring program to family literacy and newcomer settlement services, CBAL volunteers, employees and learners are making bold strides forward in their exploration of literacy and learning. This work transforms lives and builds communities."

"Throughout the Columbia Basin and Boundary region, literacy volunteers, employees and learners meet on common ground to explore growth and learning, to have fun and to improve their lives. The effects can be profound, changing the very foundation of how a person sees themself. They can be permanent, transforming the values upon which a community bases its identity. And they can be cumulative, with one small change in the way a person lives life rippling outward to touch family, community, workplace and friends. This is good work; it matters deeply in our world."
