CLN Board Welcomes Kate Glover as Director
Meet Kate Glover
 I live in a 112-year-old home in a one-horse town called Fort Macleod, one hour from the U.S. border, once home of the North West Mounted Police. I have one daughter and one granddaughter and so far, everything I learn in this phase of my life is through their eyes.
I began as a CALP coordinator 17 years ago offering general interest courses in the MD of Willow Creek under the old CALC grant system. It was fun, but once we shifted our focus to Literacy and Foundational Learning, that’s when I began to find meaning in what I do every day in my job. It gives me a chance to walk in other people’s shoes and understand how we all live different lives on the inside while living and working together on the outside.
I was elected to the CLN Board in October, and attended my very first board meeting recently, and as I sat at the same table with my colleagues and Demetrios Nicolaides, Minister of Advanced Education, I thought, well this was unexpected! I was impressed with the knowledge and sophistication that this board shared with the Minister and I wondered if I was in over my head. Then I remembered we are all learners our whole lives and it’s my turn to soak up the accumulated years of experience that these talented, erudite, compassionate people share.
I will do my best to live up to the challenge.
May the season bring us peace, love and understanding.
Kate Glover, CLN Board
Program Director, Willow Creek Community Adult Learning Society

We recently had an inquiry from Pat Becklund, who was with the Literacy Coordinators of Alberta (LCA), asking if we knew where the Literacy Quilt is now. We asked around but no one seems to know, so we thought maybe one of you out there knows where it it is and can help us figure out the mystery of it's current location.
