Centralia College is inviting the community to participate in a dyslexia awareness event on Oct. 8, World Dyslexia Day.
The purpose of the event is to raise awareness and celebrate the strengths of individuals with dyslexia, a news release from the college stated.
The event will be held at 6 p.m. in Room 122 of the TransAlta Commons on the Centralia College campus.
