The SASI and many literacy partners from the Abbotsford community including the Abbotsford Community School, Literacy Matters Abbotsford, Mamele\u2019awt Indigenous Education and more hosted educational and interactive activities for families with their own literacy engagement tables. SASI hosted their community literacy table at The Reach Gallery Museum.<\/p>\n

The SASI team showcased six archival photographs from the South Asian Canadian Digital Archive (SACDA)<\/a> and quizzed guests on the significance of the photos, encouraging questions and conversations about South Asian Canadian history. They also held puzzle-making activities for children with archival photos from the SACDA collections. Many families enjoyed making the puzzles together and learning about the historic significance behind the photographs of the finished puzzles. Visitors who completed the quiz and\/or puzzles were gifted Saffron Threads Time Shuffle playing cards.<\/p>\n
