To better understand what this day is about, consider picking up a book by an Indigenous author. Visit your local library, ask a librarian for a recommendation, or explore the work of Indigenous writers you haven’t read before. We've also included an article here from The Gord Downie & Chanie Wenjack Fund with their recommendations.

Reading is one small way we can listen, learn, and keep the conversation about reconciliation going.

🧡 Every Child Matters.

At The Bee, we celebrate words, community, and the power of connection. 🐝📚

For many of our learners, improving literacy is about more than reading and writing — it’s about feeling more confident speaking up, participating in conversations, accessing community resources, and building meaningful relationships with others.

Literacy can reduce isolation and open the door to stronger connections, greater belonging, and new opportunities.

By attending The Bee, you are helping READ Moncton provide free literacy tutoring to adults in Southeast New Brunswick, helping learners build confidence, community, and connection.

Join us for a night of laughter, friendly competition, and a cause that truly changes lives. 💛
