This week in Ontario has been pretty busy for ERA, we have donated to eight charitable organizations who give back to our community in different ways. Some of the organizations we donated to include; Sustainable Hamilton and Burlington, South Asian Autism Awareness Centre (SAAAC) and Transitions to Communities.
First, we delivered a donation to Sustainable Hamilton and Burlington, a non-profit social enterprise in Ontario, Canada, dedicated to inspiring sustainability leadership in our business organizations for a healthier environment and thriving, prosperous communities. They believe that by enhancing the success of their most influential and impactful organizations, including businesses, institutions and non-profit organizations, they will help create sustainable prosperity for the cities of Hamilton and Burlington overall.
Next, we visited the team at SAAAC in Scarborough. They were created as a direct response to the growing need for awareness, as well as support, for South Asian families impacted by ASD and related developmental disorders. Their mission is to inspire families in need of access to autism services, with a special focus on the cultural elements in the South Asian community that pose particular challenges.
Our last stop off for the day was to an organization called Transitions to Communities. They are a personal and professional skills development program for Canadian Armed Forces veterans and former RCMP members who are experiencing obstacles reintegrating into civilian life after serving. This program provides employment and skills development, as well as mental health knowledge, self-awareness, and coping strategies. The program has been developed by Mood Disorders Society of Canada (MDSC), in collaboration with Veterans Affairs Canada (VAC) and Employment and Social Development Canada (ESDC).
Thank-you to all of our amazing donors for supporting our cause, and allowing us to continue making valuable technology donations!
