WHAT’S HAPPENING IN LITERACY? February 2005 Issue At Literacy BC we use a variety of methods for disseminating news and information to the field. Yet, still more information passes through our office that we would like to pass on to you. To that end, we have instituted a service called What’s Happening in Literacy? What’s Happening? is a compilation of abbreviated information about new projects, upcoming conferences, funding opportunities, teaching resources, general news, and much more. As well, it includes a list of new acquisitions available for borrowing at our Provincial Literacy Resource Centre. A number of staff changes have taken place recently in the literacy field in BC and elsewhere in Canada as we say goodbye to old friends and colleagues and welcome new ones.
