The Electronic Recycling Association (ERA) is proud to announce a recent donation to the CLSC Côte-des-Neiges, part of the CIUSSS du Centre-Ouest-de-l’Île-de-Montréal. ERA provided a refurbished laptop to support a patient in need, helping her pursue her academic and professional goals.
Access to reliable technology is essential for education, job searching, and personal development. For many individuals, especially those facing financial or social barriers, acquiring a functional computer can be out of reach. By donating this laptop, ERA aims to bridge the digital divide and empower people to move forward in their studies and careers.
This donation is part of ERA’s broader mission to reduce electronic waste and promote digital inclusion. Instead of ending up in a landfill, gently used technology is securely wiped, refurbished, and given a second life with someone who truly needs it.
About CLSC Côte-des-Neiges and CIUSSS Centre-Ouest
The CLSC Côte-des-Neiges provides vital health and social services to one of Montreal’s most diverse and vibrant neighbourhoods. It is part of the CIUSSS du Centre-Ouest-de-l’Île-de-Montréal, a regional health authority dedicated to providing high-quality, accessible care to the community.
By partnering with local health centres and social services, ERA ensures its donations go directly to those who will benefit most—students, newcomers, seniors, and low-income families striving for a better future.
