The Electronic Recycling Association (ERA) is proud to support education and digital inclusion across Canada through responsible electronics reuse. As part of this ongoing mission, ERA recently donated one refurbished laptop to Russian School Svetlyachok in Winnipeg, helping improve access to technology for children and youth in the community.
This donation highlights ERA’s commitment to reducing electronic waste while ensuring that functional technology continues to serve a meaningful purpose.
Technology’s Role in Modern Education
Access to reliable computer equipment is essential in today’s learning environments. For community-based schools, technology supports a wide range of educational needs, including lesson preparation, classroom activities, administrative work, and digital learning tools.
By providing a refurbished laptop, ERA is helping educators and students access the tools they need to support effective learning – while also extending the lifespan of electronic devices and preventing unnecessary e-waste from entering landfills.
Supporting Community-Based Education
Russian School Svetlyachok is a community-focused educational organization in Winnipeg that provides language and cultural education for children. The school helps young learners strengthen their academic skills while maintaining strong connections to language, heritage, and community.
Organizations like Svetlyachok play an important role in fostering inclusive and culturally rich learning environments. ERA is proud to support their efforts by ensuring access to safe, reliable technology.

Through ERA’s electronics reuse and recycling programs, individuals and businesses help to:
- Reduce electronic waste in Canada
- Support education and community programs
- Promote sustainability and responsible recycling
- Help bridge the digital divide
