The Electronic Recycling Association (ERA) recently donated 3 laptops, 1 desktop computer, and 3 projectors to St. Joachim L’Association in St. Joachim, Ontario, supporting a community-led initiative to transform a historic building into a vibrant, multi-use community centre.
Bringing New Life to a Historic Community Landmark
Located in the rural community of St. Joachim, Ontario, the 141-year-old heritage building has been closed for 24 years. Thanks to the dedication of local community members, the building is now undergoing renovations with the goal of reopening as a welcoming space for residents of all ages.
The revitalization project aims to preserve an important piece of local history while creating a modern, accessible gathering place for community programs, educational activities, meetings, and special events.
Supporting Community Development Through Technology Donations
ERA’s donation of refurbished computers and projectors will help equip the future community centre with essential technology.
The laptops and desktop computer can support administrative operations, educational programs, and community activities, while the projectors can be used for presentations, workshops, meetings, and local events.
By providing access to reliable technology, ERA is helping St. Joachim L’Association build a stronger foundation for its community initiatives.
Giving Technology a Second Life
Since 2004, the Electronic Recycling Association has been committed to reducing electronic waste and bridging the digital divide across Canada.
Through partnerships with businesses and organizations, ERA collects unwanted IT equipment, securely processes data, and refurbishes reusable devices for donation to charities, schools, non-profits, and community initiatives.
This donation demonstrates how retired corporate technology can make a meaningful difference, particularly in rural communities where access to resources may be limited.
