Global Media and Information Literacy Week
October 24–31, 2025
Richmond County Municipal Council has proclaimed October 24 - 31, 2025, as Global Media and Information Literacy Week!
This year’s theme: “Minds Over AI – Media and Information Literacy in Digital Spaces”
Technology is changing how we access and share information. Online platforms often tailor content to us, and not everything we see is true. Misinformation and disinformation can affect public safety, health, and trust in our community.
By strengthening media and information literacy skills, we can:
✅ Spot misinformation
✅ Use online tools responsibly
✅ Stay safe and respectful online
✅ Support a stronger, more informed community
💻 Free Weekend Workshop – Find the Facts: Learn to tell what's real and what's fake on the internet
Learn how algorithms decide what you see online, recognize click-bait and rage-bait, fact-check information, understand Facebook’s news ban, and gain basic AI awareness.
Session 1:
When: October 25 - 26
Time: 1 - 4 p.m.
Location: Dr. Kingston Memorial Community Health Centre, 40 School Road, L’Ardoise
Session 2:
