WHERE DO YOU STAND? www.oakvillebeaver.com Cozy Reading is a community partnership in Halton that helps promote a love of books and develops literacy skills in young children. The Cozy Reading program has significant benefit to children who have had little experience being read to and for children with speech and language difficulties. The program is currently available to schools throughout Halton Region with Junior and Senior Kindergarten (JK/SK) programs. Volunteers read to JK & SK students in small groups (2-3 children) for approximately 20 minutes per session. Alisha and Farida Merchant Oakville, Ontario For more information about this program or volunteering please contact Wendy Butt, Cozy Reading Coordinator at 905-825-4011 or cozyreading@bellnet.ca or visit the web page at www.cozyreading.ca Farida Merchant and her daughter Alisha know from personal experience how fortunate we are to have the expertise and care of a world class regional cancer centre so close to home. That's why they became passionate supporters of The Credit Valley Hospital Foundation's $50 million capital campaign, and inspired their friends and family members to do the same.
