Gordon Hardie - Yukon

Gordon Hardie dropped out of school without being taught to read and write
properly. Since deciding to return to learning using the Wilson Reading Program, Gordon has become increasingly involved in promoting literacy in the Yukon. Gordon is the Adult Learner Representative for the Literacy Action Network - a group of learners that meets twice a year in Ottawa to discuss issues related to being an adult learner in Canada. He is a winner of the Canada Post Award for Adults Learners and sits on the steering committee for the Literacy Gathering in Dawson City in May 2009. He was also declared a Literacy Hero by the Yukon Literacy Coalition. Gordon actively promotes literacy at the grass roots level. He is self-motivated and a determined leader who desires literacy for all Yukoners.
