ERA & MLA Popham Partner to Donate Laptops to Victoria Non-Profit


The Electronic Recycling Association (ERA) along with the support of MLA Lana Popham will donate 5 laptops to the local non-profit organization Victoria Literacy Connection to help open the world of learning in the community.

VICTORIA, BC, Aug. 24, 2021 /CNW/ - The Electronic Recycling Association (ERA) is proud to announce the donation of 5 laptops to the Victoria Literacy Connection. Not all their clients have computers and ERA is happy to provide these devices for them to lend out for their courses.

"The support of Minister Popham and the Electronic Recycling Association will benefit Victoria Literacy Connection's Adult Basic Computer and Digital Literacy program that provides free tutoring on the use of computers, tablets and smartphones. The pandemic revealed the importance of, and the need for, basic computer training, especially among older adults," said Marla Ilo, Victoria Literacy Connection.

We are also excited about our upcoming events in September with MPP Suze Morrison in Toronto to donate 140 devices to the Yonge Street Mission and MLA Ryan Meili in Saskatoon to donate 10 computers to the International Women of Saskatoon! Details will be released soon.

Media is invited to attend.

Date: Aug 31, 2021
