Tuesday, Jan. 27 is Family Literacy Day in Canada and the Delta Community Literacy Committee wants to make this the year that Delta gets on the national map.
The goal of Family Literacy Day is to get you reading with your family for 15 minutes a day and the goal of #ScreensOffDelta! is to get you unplugged for one whole hour.
The committee invites members of the public to engage through various social media channels by sharing experiences of how to unplug and connect. There will be weekly challenges and activities for families.
Each time you post, like or share on our social media, from now until Jan. 27, you will be entered to win one of many great prizes, including an iPad.
The committee also welcomes Delta businesses to make suggestions for alternate activities. For example, feed the birds at Reifel Bird
Sanctuary, walk a dog at the Delta Community Animal Shelter or attend a financial workshop with an RBC advisor. Businesses will receive advertising with #ScreensOffDelta!
Well-known counsellor and educator, Dr. Deborah MacNamara, will wrap up the campaign with Raising Kids in a Digital World. The free lecture is scheduled for Tuesday, Jan. 27 from 7 to 8:30 p.m. at the George Mackie Library in North Delta.
