SCRABBLE® NIGHT IN CANADA 2006
KICKS OFF WITH “HUMAN SCRABBLE GAME”
Concordia University, The Hive
Campus Center - Concordia University
7141 Sherbrooke St West, January 26th 1 p.m.
Frontier College’s SCRABBLE® NIGHT IN CANADA kicks off this February for its second year – bringing SCRABBLE® lovers across Canada together to help raise funds for Frontier College’s literacy programs across the country.
Participants host a SCRABBLE® NIGHT IN CANADA party in their home and ask each guest and / or player to collect donations for Frontier College. It’s E-A-S-Y (7 points) and F-U-N (6 points)!
SCRABBLE® games will be played throughout the month of February in people’s living rooms, in local pubs and cafés, on university campuses and through various SRABBLE® clubs in cities and towns across the nation.
As part of the fun, and to officially kick off SCRABBLE® NIGHT IN CANADA, students and Frontier College volunteers from Concordia University and Université de Montréal are staging a “Human SCRABBLE®” Game at Concordia University, the Hive, Loyola Campus. Several volunteers are participating as the tiles (or letters) of the game, and an oversize replica of a SCRABBLE® board will be laid out on the floor of the Hive. Players will “square off” at 1 p.m.

SCRABBLE® Night in Canada was introduced as a cross-country fundraising initiative by Frontier College last February. Individuals and corporations host SCRABBLE® Night in Canada parties; players ask for donations to Frontier College and a new Canadian tradition begins!
Frontier College is Canada's original literacy organization. Founded in 1899 by a group of university students and faculty, its mission was to live, work and teach in isolated "frontier" settlements. Today, Frontier College volunteers and community partners work on Canada’s "new frontiers" — inner city schools and streets, public housing sites, farms, prisons and reserves.
Low literacy skills are directly linked to poverty, poor health and high unemployment. According to the recent Adult Literacy and Life Skills survey, 42% of adults in Canada have trouble with everyday tasks that involve reading. Through a network of thousands of volunteers, Frontier College is helping people realize their potential and seize the opportunities that come their way.
