Read. Learn. Live. Photography Exhibit Now Online

In celebration of our 60th anniversary in 2019, CODE launched the Read. Learn. Live photography exhibit by Peter Bregg. During 2019, the exhibit traveled to nearly a dozen locations across Canada to help raise awareness and inspire participation in CODE’s mission. The photos were taken in Sierra Leone in May 2019. They capture the great need for quality education, as well as great hope through the camera lens of Peter Bregg, a renowned Canadian photojournalist who we are grateful to a call a friend.
