Through its involvement in The Gift of Reading, Domtar is at the vanguard of the battle against illiteracy. The objective of The Gift of Reading is to help underprivileged children and illiterate individuals develop a taste and love for reading, as well as to enable them to discover all of the opportunities it can offer. In the new knowledge-based economy, those with high levels of education are privileged. Unfortunately, we have a tendency to forget that people who are illiterate or who have difficulty reading do not have the same opportunities in life. By participating in The Gift of Reading, we are taking concrete action in helping these individuals claim their place in society.
Childhood remains a privileged time to stimulate creativity and develop a love of learning.
The latter campaign, currently in its fourth year, aims to increase awareness and support of learning in reading and writing. Domtar Inc. is Canada's largest producer of specialty and fine papers and is ranked seventh in North America. William George Vice-President, Communications and Government Relations Tel.
