Literacy is an essential component to the well-
being of our community and its people. We know
how important it is to help youth and adults take
that brave and important step to develop their
literacy skills for a better educated workforce and
a stronger local economy. Our community will
prosper when everyone has the skills they need
to compete for jobs, raise a family and contribute to
their community.
— Ann Seamans, Mayor of Riverview
The Moncton Regional Learning Council believes in
enhancing lives and communities through
improved literacy and numeracy skills. Thanks to
this organization and their one-on-one approach,
adults can receive a meaningful learning
experience that is linked to personal and fieldwork
goals as well as future life objectives. The ability to
read and write has a tremendous positive impact
on employment prospects, self-esteem, lifestyle,
well being and the growth of our economy. It is
safe to say that investing in literacy and numeracy
training makes sense for individuals, families, and the whole community.
—- Yvon Lapierre, Mayor of Dieppe
Literacy is not only a vital tool to open the
potential of one’s mind; it is a fundamental human
right. It is critical to the success and happiness of
the people of our community. I thank the Moncton
Regional Learning Council for their commitment to
such an important cause.
—-George LeBlanc , former Mayor of Moncton
