The Columbia Basin Alliance for Literacy (CBAL) is launching its first Literacy Champion Award.

They are inviting your nominations to honour individuals, organizations, or businesses for their support of literacy activities, being a strong advocate for literacy, and innovation and creativity, which inspires others to learn.

Nomination forms may be downloaded at www.cbal.org/cranbrook or a form may be picked up at the CBAL office at 19 A 9th Avenue South or at the Cranbrook Public Library.  The deadline for the nominations is January 15.

Literacy refers to the ability to understand and use printed information in daily activity, at home, at work and in the community.

The Literacy Advisory Council will choose a recipient and present the award on Family Literacy Day January 27, at the Cranbrook Public Library.
