Reading Council of Greater Winnipeg RCGW promotes literacy through professional development and community outreach 📚🎉 We have received ILA's Honour Council award for 32 years.

Since 1956, the Reading Council of Greater Winnipeg (RCGW) has been dedicated to promoting literacy and developing lifelong readers. We have a proud history of being a literacy leader in City of Winnipeg and its surrounding area. We provide professional development for educators, share resources and ideas on our website, celebrate I Love to Read month, promote literacy in the community, honour literacy leaders and up-and-coming teacher candidates, and support literacy projects. RCGW is a council of the International Literacy Association (ILA), a Special Area Group of Educators (SAGE) of the Manitoba Teachers’ Society (MTS), and a council of the Manitoba Reading Association (MRA). Our local, national, and international connections let us bring you the best and latest information about literacy to support you in achieving our mission.
