Donated Laptops will be used for Lougheed House’s New Virtual Museum

By electronic recycling association June 4, 2020

The Lougheed House made great use of their last donation from ERA and needed a couple more laptops for school programs. The ERA was happy to be able to provide them with 2 more laptops. Although they are currently closed due to Covid-19, teachers can use the new Virtual Museum of Canada online exhibit, Conflicting Loyalties: The Hardisty Family Legacy, to teach students about Lady Isabella Lougheed’s fascinating life story and identity.

Lougheed House is a house of story. A place where they engage individuals and community in meaningful ways to share and honour our diverse experiences. They innovate, interpret, and explore the many dimensions of the past while fostering dialogue about the future.

Their Values:

  • They are caring and inclusive in what they do and how they make things happen
  • Collaborative in their programs and activities
  • Innovative as a response to changing times and circumstances
  • Open and transparent in all that we do
  • Respectful of their complex past, of their stakeholders, the community and each other
  • Responsible through good governance, prudent management, and fiscal practices, they are accountable to our stakeholders and sustainable

Lougheed House is Calgary’s hub of history, cultural happenings, programs, and weddings. Once they have reopened you can visit and take a historic tour of the building and gardens. View the exhibits, experience a live performance by one of their cultural collaborators, dine on local, gourmet cuisine via lunch or brunch in the restaurant or find the perfect gift in the museum shop.  Visit their website here.

During the COVID-19 pandemic, the Electronic Recycling Association has seen a surge for laptop and computer requests from organizations in need across Canada. Along with the rise in requests, there has been a substantial decrease in the amount of inventory we have available for donation. Imperial Oil heard our plea and came forward to provide us with an impressive contribution. If you would like to team up with ERA, we will have our reliable representatives’ pick up your items and provide you with certification and inventory reporting.  Contact us at 1877-9EWASTE or book online here.
