NUNAVIK, QUEBEC – Retired broadcasting executive Bill Roberts begins his epic 250-km wilderness trek for literacy today, as he starts his climb up Mount Caubvick to raise awareness for Frontier College and its mission to improve literacy rates across Canada.
“It’s a challenge to climb mountains big and small, but it’s an even greater challenge to make your way in this world if you don’t have fundamental and basic literacy skills,” Roberts said in an interview with CBC Radio Newfoundland & Labrador earlier this week.
You can follow Roberts’ journey on Frontier College’s Twitter feed (@FrontierCollege) or Facebook page. Frontier College president and CEO Sherry Campbell writes in an email that Roberts’ climb has raised almost $5,000.
