A fantastic turnout of 170 people shared activities, learning and laughs at the Mount Waddington Literacy Fair on March 2 at the Port Hardy Civic Centre, hosted by Mount Waddington Family Literacy Society (MWFLS).
“The literacy fair this year was a grand success – from treasure hunts to a book reading, and many take home items, there were a lot of activities for children to do,” said Kelly Anderson, Mother Goose Coordinator at MWFLS. “My favourite moment has to be watching kids realize that they can choose any book they like from the book table, as we are able to purchase them outright and give them out for free. There is always a large amount of excitement on their faces as they pick and run to the tables to start reading.”
Ninety children received a new free book of their choice!
Thanks to these organizations for joining us to share their activities, services and resources:
Children’s book author Erin Leigh Egan
North Island Community Services Society – Promising Babies & Parents of Young Children programs
PacificCare Family Enrichment Society – Child Care Resource & Referral
It is so heartwarming to read about the success of the 2024 Literacy Fair! Seeing 170 people come together for treasure hunts and book readings really highlights the strength of the community. It’s especially wonderful that 90 children were able to take home a new book of their choice—that kind of excitement can truly spark a lifelong passion for reading and learning.
Just as these events provide families with a space to learn and grow together, many people also look for reliable and welcoming environments when planning their own family adventures.

Thank you for sharing these fantastic resources and opportunities at the Literacy Fair! Events like this can truly make a difference in building skills and confidence. As families think about supporting long‑term goals, tools like Retirement Planning can help ensure a secure future, and having whole life insurance in place adds an important layer of protection for loved ones. Both are valuable parts of planning for tomorrow while we nurture learning today.
