Empowering Seniors’ Digital Literacy at Cecil Community Centre with ERA’s Tech Donation

By electronic recycling association August 29, 2024

The Electronic Recycling Association (ERA) has recently donated to the Cecil Community Centre located in Toronto, ON. This donation underscores ERA’s commitment to bridging digital divides and empowering local communities through technology.

ERA’s donation includes two desktop computers and four projectors, which will play pivotal roles in fostering digital literacy and connectivity within the Cecil Community Centre. These resources are not just technological tools but symbols of opportunity and accessibility for residents in the Kensington-Chinatown neighborhood.

The two desktop computers will be set up within the community centre, offering public access to essential digital resources. This access is crucial for community members seeking to enhance their digital skills, conduct research, or connect with others online.

Moreover, the four projectors will be instrumental in facilitating digital literacy workshops aimed specifically at seniors in the neighborhood. These workshops, organized by Cecil Community Centre, aim to educate and empower forty seniors on the fundamentals of using digital devices such as laptops and navigating the internet safely.

The digital literacy workshops will provide seniors with hands-on training in using digital devices effectively. Participants will learn essential skills like browsing the internet, sending emails, and accessing online services. This knowledge is invaluable in today’s increasingly digital world, enabling seniors to stay connected with loved ones, access vital information, and participate more fully in modern society.
