For over 30 years, Movement for Canadian Literacy (MCL) has provided a forum and voice for literacy organizations, practitioners and learners across the country. In partnership with its member literacy coalitions, learner representatives from every province and territory and other key stakeholders, MCL has supported the literacy and essential skills field through capacity building, public awareness, research and professional development. In early 2009 the MCL board began to work on changing the board structure and re-engaging in a strategic planning process. This annual report presents a brief review of MCL's activity over the course of the last year as it continued its work to share knowledge, engage with a variety of partners and build awareness to advance literacy and learning across Canada.
