Green Bag Initiative

Bright green literacy backpacks for preschoolers are found around the community at Family Places, Strong Start, Daycares, Robron Gathering Place, Laichwiltach, and Campbell River Family Services.  A child and their family can borrow one from any place and return /exchange it at any one of the other places.  These backpacks were a jointly funded project from Literacy Now (who had the lead on the project), Success By 6, School District 72 and Altrusa.
