Abstract

The Canadian Plains Research Center (CPRC) at the University of Regina is continuing to partner with the Regina Leader-Post newspaper to help children learn to read. University of Regina President Vianne Timmons recently presented a cheque for $6,388 to the Regina Leader-Post, in support of the CanWest Raise-A-Reader campaign, a national initiative of the CanWest newspaper chain. Two CanWest newspapers - the Saskatoon Star-Phoenix and the Regina Leader-Post - have a joint project with the publishing arm of the U of R's Canadian Plains Research Center. Proceeds from selected CPRC books go to Raise-A-Reader. The most recent donation of $6,388 covers partial proceeds from the CPRC book Paper Cows and More Sasaktchewan Crime Stories by Leader-Post reporters Barb Pacholik and Jana Pruden.
