PG Native Friendship Centre to receive funding for Learning Literacy program

Adult literacy programs across BC including Prince George will continue to be free for those who access it.

The Province invests $3.4 million annually to support the Community Adult Literacy Program.

These programs improve basic writing, reading, math, and digital skills.

The Learning Circle Literacy Program hosted by the Prince George Native Friendship is among those to receive funding.

Several initiatives in the Cariboo, Northeast and Northwest regions also made the list.

In 2025-26, the Community Adult Literacy Program will support 96 literacy programs delivered by 67 providers in 204 B.C. communities, a 55% increase from 132 communities during the previous fiscal year (2024-25).
