In 2003, in collaboration with Blue Metropolis, The Montreal International Literary Festival, The Centre for Literacy presented the fifth annual Grassroots: Community Writing and Arts event.
The 2002 Grassroots: Community Writing event was once again part of the Blue Metropolis Literary Festival. The festival theme was the architecture of language. The Centre for Literacy brought together storytellers and writers who have written and published in community-based settings rather than inside institutions, and who have built bridges among verbal, oral, and visual literacies.
The 2001 Grassroots: Community Writing Workshop organized by The Centre for Literacy in collaboration with the Blue Metropolis Literary Festival focused on the homeless. There was discussion about street people who could not read or write well, and about talented writers and artists who find themselves homeless at some point in their lives.
