The Electronic Recycling Association (ERA) would like to extend our heartfelt thanks to Parq Casino for their generous technology donation in support of our Donation Program. Partnerships like this are vital to ERA’s mission of reducing e-waste while ensuring that individuals and organizations in need have access to essential technology.
This recent donation from Parq Casino will help us fulfill a very specific and meaningful request from the Indigenous Wellness Training Society. The donated computer equipment will be provided to single Indigenous mothers and clients living in Vancouver who are facing significant financial challenges.
As people deeply committed to education and personal growth, these clients are actively pursuing opportunities to improve their skills and secure stable employment. However, these efforts have been severely limited by a lack of access to essential technology. A computer or laptop is more than just a tool—it is a gateway to online courses, job applications, and resources that support their journey toward self-sufficiency. Additionally, access to this technology will enable them to support their children’s education through digital learning resources at home.
Without access to these critical tools, their financial situations make it nearly impossible to break the cycle of poverty. Thanks to Parq Casino’s generosity, these mothers and clients will now have the technology they need to change their futures and build brighter lives for their families.
