The CESBA LBS Committee represents the work of the School Board LBS Sector (public and catholic boards in Ontario funded to deliver LBS in their communities). This broadly representative committee is elected at the annual meeting of School Board LBS Managers and reports to the CESBA Board of Directors.

Literacy & Basic Skills (LBS) is an adult literacy program funded by the Ministry of Training Colleges & Universities (MTCU). The official Guidelines of the LBS program describe its objectives as follows:

To help Ontario move toward a seamless adult education system that supports lifelong learning.

To support literacy agencies in providing quality literacy services that meet learners' needs.

To focus literacy services on those adults most in need of them.

To ensure accountability to government, to the public, and to learners in the provision of literacy services that are effective, efficient, and produce measurable results.

And to foster closer links between literacy training and employment.

An LBS Managers’ Day is held at most of the CESBA Pre-Conference days. For more information on this, as well as the date of the next LBS Managers’ Day, visit the Pre-Conference page on this website.
