PEI recipient of the 12th annual Council of the Federation Literacy Award

It was an honour and a pleasure to Host Premier Wade MacLauchlan and Jean Ellsworth at our Sept. 12th Rotary meeting.

Jean is the PEI recipient of the 12th annual Council of the Federation Literacy Award in honour of International Literacy Day. The award is presented to recipients from all 13 provinces and territories to celebrate outstanding achievement, innovative practice, and excellence in literacy.

Jean shared her inspirational story of achieving her high school certificate later in life and then going on to complete the RCW program at Holland College - Jean's hardwork and determination paid off and she's now working and thriving in her chosen field.
