Prepared by the Saskatchewan Literacy Network, this video features adults talking about their lives before and after they took steps to improve their literacy skills.

The adults, who represent a variety of backgrounds and age groups, describe the doors that have opened up to them because of their improved skills.

They also call on governments to increase funding for and access to literacy programs. The video’s narrator points out that less than 10 percent of Canadians who could benefit from literacy services are actually getting that help.
