Grace Caputo, who has been the literacy group’s co-ordinator since November 2020, said the agency was formed in 2007. Throughout the year, they offer free educational, fun programs that are open to all members of the community. The literacy group was located in the Estevan Public Library for many years, but it is now in the Estevan Comprehensive School. They have programs for children and adults, and they work with English as Another Language adults. “We solely survive on grants, local donations and fundraising, which allows us to offer free programming,” said Caputo. The literacy group is a United Way Estevan member agency, and the United Way is their biggest contributor. Saskatchewan Lotteries, the Children’s Initiative Fund, the Access Communications Children Fund and the Estevan Lions Club are among the other supporters.

I’ve always been a storyteller. In elementary school I loved to write stories, fairy tales about creatures and beasts that only exist in the depths of my mind. I’d tried to start writing books when I was 13 but my skill wasn’t quite where it needed to be, neither was my dedication it seems, as I never completed any of my books. I’ve grown since then, in terms of maturity and skill, and now I’m finally getting to put my talent to work by writing as a journalist. I had once dreamt of going to school, Yale if we’re being specific, to study journalism but here I am. I didn’t need the fancy degree from the Ivy League school after all.

“We are working closely with public health staff to ensure necessary measures are in place to protect all students,” the letter states. A case of COVID-19 was reported at the school in late March – the first reported case at the school this year. Public Health or school staff have been and will be contacting parents or guardians of students and any staff, visitors or volunteers who may have been in close contact with the cases to provide direction. “If you do not hear from them, your child has not been exposed because of the measures that are in place,” the school division said.
