September is Literacy Month Across BC!
Literacy is Life Campaign Launched!

Decoda has launched its second Literacy is Life campaign, a month-long awareness and fundraising campaign to support community-based literacy programs.

As you read this, mayors and councils around the province are making proclamations to celebrate the month as well as International Literacy Day on September 8th. Trivia Challenge fundraisers are being held in different communities across BC. The campaign is being featured online, on radio and TV, thanks to our media sponsor CBC. The excitement is building!


Message from the CEO
Happy Literacy Month!

The summer may seem like a relaxing time for many, but the Decoda staff team has been working diligently throughout the season. As we begin the month of September after a long, dry (but busy) summer, I am thrilled to announce the launch of our second Literacy is Life campaign!
