It’s been 26 years since the inaugural Times Colonist book sale, a perennial success story that has generated nearly $7 million in support of literacy initiatives on Vancouver Island.
These funds now benefit from partial matching by provincial government funds through Decoda Literacy Solutions. To date, a total of $6.7 million in grants have been distributed.
