This booklet provides an overview of some projects and initiatives funded by the National Literacy Program in Canada in 1989-90. Many have been supported as well by the provinces and territories, community organizations, business, or labor organizations. The booklet also contains a sample of the activities of other federal departments and agencies that are working within their own mandates to support literacy. Section 1 describes 56 joint federal-provincial/territorial projects that show how each region responds to the literacy needs of its population. Projects are classified by province or territory.

Section 4 describes the literacy work being done by nine federal government departments and agencies. A final section describes three major research projects supported by the National Literacy Program to contribute to the base of knowledge about literacy in Canada.
