The Ministry of Education is now accepting nominations for the 2018 Canada’s Premiers’ Council of the Federation Literacy Award (COFLA).  COFLA is an annual award that honours residents and organizations for outstanding achievement, innovative practice and excellence in literacy in each of Canada’s provinces and territories.

“The work that literacy practitioners, educators and librarians do every day in developing and promoting reading and writing skills within Saskatchewan communities is vital for the economic well-being of our province,” Deputy Premier and Education Minister Gordon Wyant said.  “This award is a way of recognizing them for their important contributions to the advancement of knowledge in our province.”

Saskatchewan’s 2018 COFLA award will honour an outstanding family literacy practitioner, early childhood educator, teacher, librarian or community educator who has contributed to the advancement of literacy in Saskatchewan through public awareness, program innovation and development, program delivery, research and innovation, directed at supporting literacy development of families and communities.

All nominations must be received on or before May 25, 2018.  Nominations received by the deadline will be reviewed by an independent panel of literacy experts that will make their recommendation for Saskatchewan’s 2018 COFLA recipient.

The recipient will be announced and honoured in a presentation ceremony later this year.  Please visit the following link for the nomination guidelines, criteria, form and a list of previous award recipients at www.saskatchewan.ca/government/heritage-honours-and-awards/council-of-the-federation-literacy-award.
