The Electronic Recycling Association (ERA), in partnership with Genetec Inc., is proud to announce the donation of 15 refurbished laptops to Le Centre de Réfugiés – The Refugee Centre in Montreal. This initiative aims to equip newcomers with the technology they need to support remote work, online education, and digital integration into Canadian society.
