Guide to Voting: Free Civic Literacy Workbook
The Guide to Voting is a resource created by ABC Life Literacy to help literacy practitioners engage adult learners in civic literacy leading up to the next federal election.
This resource helps literacy practitioners engage adult learners in civic literacy. Created in partnership with Elections Canada, A Guide to Voting includes information, links, and activities to help learners understand voting basics, such as how to register to vote, different ways to vote, and the accessibility resources available. It also guides practitioners through talking to their learners about why voting is important and what to expect at a polling place.
When you have strong civic literacy skills, you know how to make your voice heard by all levels of government—before, during, and after an election.

On 8 September 2018, International Literacy Day will be celebrated around the world with the theme ‘Literacy and skills development’. Despite progress made, literacy challenges persist, and at the same time the demands for skills required for work, evolve rapidly. This year, ILD explores and highlights integrated approaches that simultaneously can support the development of literacy and skills, to ultimately improve people’s life and work and contribute to equitable and sustainable societies.
This year’s theme ‘Literacy and skills development’ focuses on youth and adults within the lifelong learning framework, the effective linkages between literacy and skills will be explored. For ILD 2018, ‘skills’ means knowledge, skills and competencies required for employment, careers, and livelihoods particularly technical and vocational skills, along with transferable skills and digital skills.
