CLO Online Survey
Here's an opportunity to support CLO and your LBS colleagues!
Community Literacy of Ontario is committed to developing tools and resources that reflect the programming and administrative needs or their member LBS agencies. This year, they want to know more about:
- Apprenticeship/Skilled Trades programming - CLO is working in partnership with the CSC, CESBA and LLO to obtain a cross-sectoral perspective of this important goal path.
- Learner Recruitment - times are changing, and CLO is exploring marketing strategies and challenges in an ever-shifting environment.
Your feedback to this survey will enable CLO to profile and share your successes and challenges with the Ministry, key stakeholders, and other LBS agencies using aggregate data.
Fully completed surveys will be entered in two draws for $50 gift cards!

Frontier College National Forum - Literacy and the Economy
Frontier College presents a national forum on Literacy and the Economy: The Road to Recovery.
Join them on Wednesday, October 6, 2021 at 1:00 pm Eastern Time to hear from their panelists. They will bring together a wide variety of participants to discuss the economic impact of COVID-19 on Canadians and how literacy is vital to our country’s recovery.
After more than a year of intermittent lockdowns and disruptions to school, training, and work, many Canadians do not have a job to return to and need to pursue new career paths.
Experts say the adult literacy gap—poor reading, writing, and numeracy skills— will be a major roadblock to post-pandemic economic recovery.
