2026 Council of the Federation Literacy Award (COFLA) Nomination Launch

The ministry is launching the Council of the Federation Literacy Award (COFLA) nomination process.

This year’s award will honour a Get SET (Skills, Education and Training) adult learner who has transformed their life through achieving their goal of advancing their education and training by entering an apprenticeship or gaining active employment thanks to Get SET training.

Nominations will be accepted between Monday, May 11, 2026 and 5:00 pm on Friday, June 5, 2026.

The COFLA nomination forms and rules can be found on the Nominate a Literacy Leader webpage.

Ministry staff involved in the delivery of Get SET and the Get SET network.

The Get SET network is invited to nominate Get SET adult learners who meet the nomination requirements. We encourage you to share this information with your colleagues in the literacy community to help ensure this information is circulated as widely as possible.

Since 2005, the Council of the Federation (COF) has presented an annual literacy award to recognize outstanding achievement, innovative practice, and excellence in adult literacy. Each province and territory administer its own award based on a theme that is identified as relevant and appropriate to the literacy work that has been undertaken over the last twelve months. The selected recipient may include educators, literacy practitioners, volunteers, learners, and community organizations and businesses.
