Mission Statement

The NWT Literacy Council is dedicated to supporting the development of literacy in all official languages of the NWT. We do this by:

• Promoting reading and writing in all official languages of the NWT;
• Providing information about literacy, programs and resources;
• Building and maintaining a network for shared information;
• Developing teaching and learning materials and promotional materials;
• Supporting literacy programs, projects and practitioners;
• Monitoring and responding to territorial and federal literacy initiatives and policy;
• Encouraging reading and writing at all ages.

Vision Statement

We believe that everyone has a right to literacy. We also believe that literacy is something that involves everyone - individuals, families, communities, business, labour and governments. Literacy is the foundation of lifelong learning and of active participation in the social, economic and political life of our communities, our territory and our country.
