Reach a Reader

The Columbia Basin Alliance for Literacy provides free literacy programs for all ages in the Elk Valley, and 15 other communities in the East and West Kootenays. To support our work, we are partnering with Black Press and the Fernie Ghostriders in a Kootenay-wide fundraising campaign called "Reach a Reader".

On October 6th, you can help us "reach a reader" by making a donation in exchange for a Fernie Free Press. Members of the Fernie Ghostriders will be "selling" papers in Fernie at Extra Foods, Overwaitea, and downtown. Instead of picking up your Free Press from your normal location, consider purchasing one from the Ghostriders!
