Electronic Recycling Gives New Life to Technology

By electronic recycling association January 21, 2026

The Electronic Recycling Association (ERA) is pleased to support local heritage preservation by donating of a desktop computer and two laptops to the Lakeland Interpretive Society, the organization behind the Lac La Biche Museum in Lac La Biche, AB.

These devices will play an important role in strengthening the Society’s day-to-day operations, supporting archival work, and expanding community programming. As a small but impactful museum, access to reliable technology helps ensure the region’s environmental, Indigenous, municipal, and cultural histories remain accessible for future generations.

Why This Technology Donation Matters

For community museums, dependable computers are essential tools. The newly donated desktop and laptops will help the Lakeland Interpretive Society:

  • Manage collections and digital archives more efficiently, preserving historical records and artifacts
  • Create educational materials for school programs, guided tours, and public exhibits
  • Handle administrative tasks that keep exhibits, events, and outreach programs running smoothly

By improving behind-the-scenes operations, this donation allows museum staff to focus more time and energy on sharing local history with residents, students, and visitors.

The Lakeland Interpretive Society serves as a cultural hub for the Lac La Biche region, welcoming school groups, hosting community events, and curating exhibits that celebrate the area’s rich heritage. Every donated device helps amplify their impact—supporting learning, community engagement, and long-term preservation of local stories.

Want to Make a Difference Too?

Donating gently used technology is a win for both your community and the environment. ERA refurbishes donated electronics and redistributes them to charities, non-profits, and community organizations that need them most.

Together, we can reduce electronic waste, support local organizations, and keep Canada’s community stories alive—one device at a time.
