Did you know that 48% of Canadians have literacy skills below the threshold needed to fully function in today’s world?

That’s not just a numbers problem, it’s a health problem. Research shows that literacy affects everything from understanding medication labels to managing chronic conditions, and it can even shape the health of our kids!

We looked at the connection between health and literacy and what FESA is doing to help in our latest blog. 💜Link in bio.

June is National Indigenous History Month, a time to honour the rich history, cultures, and contributions of First Nations, Inuit, and Métis Peoples. This month is an opportunity to listen, learn, and reflect. Explore Indigenous-led programs, attend events, read Indigenous authors, and support Indigenous-owned businesses. Learn about the land we live on and the communities who have always called it home.

As we mark FESA's 30th year, we are honoured to carry forward the relationships, learning, and stories built alongside Indigenous partners, youth, Elders, and Knowledge Keepers. Their wisdom and leadership continue to shape how we learn, grow, and show up for community.

Reconciliation is not a single act or a single month. It is a journey we share through ongoing learning, action, and respect.
