Manitoba literacy programs will be severely affected by the recent federal cuts.

 

Cuts to literacy programs were among other programs, that were dismissed during the Conservatives one billion dollar "wasteful spending" cuts.

Lori Apps is the executive director of Literacy Partners Manitoba, she explains this may end the program.

Apps' biggest fear is support to literacy in Manitoba will be lost.

She notes it has been a process to get the program to where it is now and she says it would be a shame to start over.
