Stacey Huget, who rejoined Literacy BC last year and was involved in a variety of initiatives, has left our organization to work in another field. Stacey is now Executive Director of the Institute for Global Ethics (Canada), a nonsectarian, non-partisan, non-profit organization based in Vancouver. IGE Canada “promotes ethical behaviour among Canadians and our institutions – through research, public discourse, and practical action – and seeks to achieve shared moral values that shape our relationships, determine our decisions, and guide our actions.” Education is a key area of focus for IGE Canada.
