Parry Sound
(Sound Learning Centre)

The Sound Learning Centre in Parry Sound joined Trails to Literacy in November of 2001.

Originally they planned to work with local snowmobile groups on area trails, but the winter weather proved uncooperative and so the Centre turned to investigating alternative projects.

One of the possibilities they looked into was working with a local food bank, helping design menus, coordinating inventory of donations, etc.

While deciding on a project they were approached by the West Parry Sound District Museum who requested their help in designing a brochure for their museum.

They had a brochure that guided them through the museum but felt there was a need for another type that was geared to low literacy visitors who had difficulty with the existing guides. The museum staff felt that making this type of guide available would encourage more people to visit and enjoy the museum.

This project was taken on by the Sound Learning Centre and is in the process of being developed. This would run a the gamut of skills that could be learned or practiced, such as computers, graphic designing, math, typing, research, etc.
