Councillor Ishmir. Um, I just want to speak to the critical work that literacy Central Vancouver Island does in our community. They are a social enterprise with their bookstore, Well Red Books. Um, they provide some really important frontline educational services for folks tutoring computer skills, The New Horizons for Seniors Program is really important. And I'm just really grateful for the Volunteers who make this work possible through literacy central. And I really am grateful for them existing in NaNIMO and for their legacy of literacy. Thank you.
