2010 City Wide Literacy Challenge - Complete
We asked Chilliwack citizens to join the City Wide Literacy Challenge. To participate, you were asked to read for 20 minutes per day from February 1 to February 21, tracking your reading days on a ballot. On March 1, the mayor drew for prize winners from all ballots that were completed.Nearly 400 members of the public participated - from those less than a year old to those...a little older. Thanks to all who took part. Look for the CWLC again in 2011.
