Literacy Alberta wants to hear from Tutors, and will be holding two focus groups -- one in Calgary and one in Red Deer -- to talk about Travelling Tutor Totes.

The Calgary focus group will be held February 15 at the Kahanoff Centre. Red Deer’s will be held February 22 at Heritage Ranch. Both begin at 11:00 AM, and will finish by approximately 2 PM.

If you would like to participate in one of these groups, or would like to participate in a phone interview, please contact Val Lawton at vlawton@literacyalberta.ca

All participants will receive Literacy Alberta's Tutor Tools. Focus group participants will be reimbursed for their travel expenses and will be served lunch.
