NSPGI for Literacy

LNS is the beneficiary of the funds raised annually through NSPGI for Literacy. Net revenue raised at NSPGI stays in Nova Scotia and is used by LNS to support adult learners. The PGI began in Nova Scotia as a golf tournament in 1991 and the last tournament was held in Cape Breton in 2017. Over that time, NSPGI has raised over $1.5 million to support literacy initiatives across the province.

2018 was a transition year for NSPGI; the golf tournament was cancelled and instead of golf, LNS was pleased to celebrate and recognize adult learners in the Valley Region.

NSPGI Learner Celebration

The NSPGI Learner Celebration was held on November 19, 2018 at the Old Orchard Inn in Wolfville, Nova Scotia, and was co-hosted by LNS and their partners: Valley Community Learning Association (VCLA), Hants Learning Network Association (HLNA), and Digby Area Learning Association (DALA). The celebration included a reception, dinner, guest speakers, award presentations, and speeches by outstanding adult learners who changed their lives and the lives of those around them by improving their literacy and essential skills. Thirty learners received recognition certificates for their learning achievements. VIDEO
