To the editor:
Re: “Young readers like an open book,” Jan. 28.
If I understand this correctly, the Canucks Family Education Centre for adults is pairing students from Britannia secondary with Britannia elementary to read to one another and promote love of reading.
Interestingly enough, the staff and students have to, at least some of the time, wear Canucks regalia, and on one occasion had to read “Canucks-flavoured reading” material.
Is this philanthropy or cultivating the next generation of sports consumers? I hope the former.
