Thank You

We would like to say a big thank you to those sponsors who helped to make NWT Literacy Week a big success.

The Department of Education, Culture and Employment provided us with funds for NWT Literacy Week. With this funding we were able to develop and distribute Literacy Week packages to all communities and bring a performer up for the week.
