The Electronic Recycling Association (ERA) is proud to support inclusive sport and digital accessibility through the donation of two refurbished laptops to the Manitoba Wheelchair Sport Association in Winnipeg, Manitoba. This donation was made as part of ERA’s annual 12 Days of Christmas Tech Donations, a national initiative focused on reducing electronic waste while strengthening community organizations across Canada.
Supporting Inclusive Sport Through Technology Reuse
The Manitoba Wheelchair Sport Association (MWSA) plays a vital role in promoting adaptive sports and physical activity for individuals with physical disabilities. By providing opportunities in wheelchair sport and recreation, MWSA helps athletes build confidence, develop skills, and stay connected to their communities.
Access to reliable technology is essential for nonprofit organizations that operate both in-office and in the field. The donated laptops will enable MWSA staff to remain mobile and productive while away from the office, supporting program coordination, athlete communication, scheduling, reporting, and outreach.
Technology That Enables Mobility and Impact
For organizations supporting adaptive and wheelchair sports, flexibility is key. Whether attending training sessions, competitions, community events, or meetings, having portable technology allows staff to:
- Work efficiently while traveling
- Stay connected with athletes, volunteers, and partners
- Manage programs and administration remotely
- Improve overall service delivery and responsiveness
By refurbishing and donating laptops, ERA helps extend the life of electronic equipment while ensuring that valuable technology reaches organizations that need it most.
Reducing E-Waste While Strengthening Communities
ERA’s 12 Days of Christmas Tech Donations highlights the organization’s commitment to responsible electronic recycling, secure data destruction, and technology reuse. Instead of sending usable electronics to landfill, ERA refurbishes donated devices and redirects them to charities, nonprofits, and community groups across Canada.
This donation to the Manitoba Wheelchair Sport Association demonstrates how sustainable electronics management can directly support accessibility, inclusion, and community well-being.
