About Us
The Miramichi Literacy Council (MLC) was founded by Dorothy Creighton and a dedicated group of volunteers in 1978. We have been a local non-profit organization for over forty years, and in 2023, became a CRA registered charity.
Our mission is to help adults improve their literacy skills and to promote literacy awareness. We do this through an increasingly broad range of programs and community literacy initiatives. We offer free, confidential one-to-one tutoring for adults in reading, writing and math. We provide both individual and group-based ESL tutoring for newcomers. Local partnerships with the John Howard Society, the Women’s Correctional Centre of New Brunswick and the Chatham Public Library have also allowed us to expand our programs within the community.
MLC continues to welcome new an innovative ways to engage new learners and help erase the stigma that prevents adults from learning to read or improving their literacy skills. We strive to make learning more accessible for all New Brunswickers.
