Pan-Canadian Interactive Literacy Forum

"Education ministers across Canada are united in their commitment to literacy and learning from coast to coast to coast. That's the driving force behind the Pan-Canadian Interactive Literacy Forum, which will use webcasting to broadcast streaming video in real time and connect 10 sites around the country. Some will feature keynote speakers, including world-class literacy and education experts, top policy makers, and celebrated entertainers. All will champion an individual theme, such as Aboriginal literacy, community, early learning, and workplace literacy. This first pan-Canadian literacy forum is expected to draw approximately 3,500 learners and other participants from the education, non-profit, business, and labour sectors" - April 14-15, 2008
