Mr. Speaker, Nunavummiut are currently enjoying activities in support of Nunavut Literacy Week which started Sunday, September 28 and goes until October 4.
Literacy is at the heart of a strong education for children, youth and adults together. In Nunavut we are proud to promote reading as a fun and important part of learning.
On Wednesday, October 1 Nunavummiut were encouraged to read for a 15 minute period, whether it be a fun comic book, a classic novel or an exciting mystery.
Reading is fun and exciting and can take us into another world. Often we are surprised by how much education we have received just by reading.
Nunavut Literacy Week is not just about letters, pages and memory. It is about enriching one's world with knowledge.
Congratulations and thanks to all supporters and participants of the week-long event.
