PEI Literacy Alliance

The Rotary Club of Charlottetown Literacy Foundation was formed in 2006 through the cooperation of the Rotary Club of Charlottetown, the Province of PEI and the PEI Literacy Alliance. This non-profit and a CRA-Registered Charity is funded in equal parts by the Province of PEI and the Rotary Club of Charlottetown with board representation from both and members of our community who are committed to improving literacy and essential skills outcomes throughout PEI. The PEI Literacy Alliance operates in complete independence from the Rotary Club of Charlottetown Literacy Foundation.
