Goals:
The LCNB's goals are to:

impact on every facet of society.
- To facilitate and mobilize activities which will result in
opportunities for higher levels of literacy among the people

Background: The Literacy Coalition of New Brunswick Inc. was formed
in 1988 when stakeholders decided there was a need for a multi-sectoral
literacy organization. Since then the LCNB has carried out projects

improving co-ordination and information sharing, improving public
awareness and developing learning materials.
