Opening more than books
February 3, 2026
The Action Read Family Literacy Program had a wonderful time celebrating Family Literacy Day at the amazing Children’s Art Factory. What a fantastic space for creativity! Children and and adults alike couldn’t resist jumping in and making art together.
Because our families attend the program on different days, we actually held the celebration three days in a row so everyone had a chance to join the fun. It meant three days of creativity, laughter, and families learning together, exactly what Family Literacy Day is all about.
A huge thank you to our generous funders and sponsors: United Way Guelph Wellington Dufferin, the City of Guelph, the Sifton Family Foundation, and the Excellence in Literacy Foundation. Your support helps make joyful learning moments like this possible, and we are truly grateful.
We’d also like to give a big shout-out to the fabulous “Miss Brenda,” whose thoughtful touches and creative energy made the celebration extra special. And of course, thank you to our wonderful families for joining the fun and bringing such great spirit to the day! See more photos from the day here.
