Digital Media Survey

Each year, United for Literacy brings people together to explore how literacy connects to the issues shaping our world.

For our 2026 National Forum, we’re focusing on digital media and we want to hear from you. What matters most in your online experience? Are you interested in learning more about fact checking, making informed choices about what you read or watch, or other digital media topics?

Game Night 2026

Game Night is United for Literacy’s annual fundraising event where fun meets philanthropy! This lively evening brings together friends, colleagues, and community members to play games, win prizes, and support vital literacy programs across Canada.

Why Literacy?

Improving literacy improves people’s lives—research shows that people in Canada with higher levels of literacy, numeracy, and problem-solving skills report better health and stronger connections with their communities and society. Literacy upgrading also has a positive impact on higher earnings and job retention. 

Volunteers change lives

Each year, our volunteers give thousands of hours to tutoring math, reading, and writing; reading stories; helping with special events; and supporting our book donation program.

From helping children read a favourite book to supporting adults as they work to improve their skills, volunteers are key to creating a culture of literacy in Canada.
