As part of Minister of Education, George Abbott's tour of Cranbrook's Schools on January 27th, Family Literacy Day, he spent a few hours at Gordon Terrace Elementary School accompanied by MLA Bennett, where he observed several components of their literacy programs including the Sound Connections Program and the Eager Reader Club. Minister Abbott and members of his staff took time to listen to children read and also read to the Eager Readers and some of their parents and grandparents at a special luncheon in celebration of Family Literacy Day.

Minister Abbott later moved on to Mount Baker School in the afternoon for a good look at a school that many hope will soon be replaced. He also visited Amy Woodland School.
Meetings were also scheduled with School Trustees, Parent Advisory Groups and members of School District No. 5 Administration.
