The Pembina Escarpment Reading Council (PERC) was chartered by the International Reading Association (now the International Literacy Association) as a Regional Council. With wonderful assistance from the Manitoba Reading Association and the International Association, the PERC executive members were successful in establishing a Board of ten people and a membership of over 20 people – both of which were necessary in the chartering process. Since that time, the membership has grown. Carol Hryniuk-Adamov, Manitoba’s IRA representative, and Susan Barnaby, MRA president, were very helpful in the establishment of PERC, and the executive sends out a huge thank-you to them.
PERC has set goals that will drive the council’s activities. These goals are as follows:
- To promote the love of reading
- To promote and improve literacy for all
- To celebrate the connections between learning, literacy, and life
- To connect with ILA, MRA, and other local Manitoba councils
- To provide a venue for community literacy advocates to partner as one voice
- To provide an avenue for regional educators to learn and grow as literacy instructors
- To be a source of excellent professional development that matches research and practice in the area of literacy
PERC held a launching event - “Literacy 1 to 110” on February 22nd in the beautiful Winkler library.
