Nov 9 – We were happy to receive an update about a recent computer donation from Providence Crosstown Clinic in Vancouver last week:
“Mark and Tim* have been so excited and thrilled about getting their new laptops! Tim even signed up for a Shaw promotion in advance so that he would have access to the internet at home when he received his laptop! Both are very thankful to you and ERA for the new opportunities this generous gift will afford them! Have a great day and weekend!”

Nov 4 – Yesterday we presented a donation of 225 computers to the schools ofTsuu T’ina Nation. In addition to having Harvey the Hound on hand to help unload our truck, we were also extremely happy that representatives fromSuncor Energy, FortisAlberta, TransCanada Corporation and AltaLinkwere present to be recognized by the school for their contributions. We were provided with a surprise of our own when all contributing organizations were presented with a spirit blanket that had been blessed by students.
It was an exciting assembly, led by Chilla Elementary’s illustrious Principal, Guy Morin. We were warmly welcomed by staff and surrounded by community and positive energy, and are honored to have spent the day at Chilla Elementary!
Nov 2 – At this time tomorrow, we will be presenting 225 computers to the Tsuu T’ina Nation board of Education! We are looking forward to seeing the students’ faces as Official Calgary Flames Hockey Club mascot Harvey the Hound presents the computers to an assembly full of children! Thanks again to Suncor Energy,FortisAlberta, TransCanada Corporation,AltaLink, Asset Canada and Home Trust for your contributions to this computer donation. View the press release here
