Supporting Students in Ottawa This Giving Tuesday

By electronic recycling association November 29, 2025

This Giving Tuesday, the Electronic Recycling Association (ERA) is proud to support the students of École Sainte-Marie Mère de Dieu in Ottawa with a meaningful donation of refurbished technology. To help enhance learning opportunities and improve access to digital tools, ERA has provided the school with one desktop computer, two laptops, two monitors, three projectors, and three printers.

Supporting Digital Learning in Ottawa

Giving Tuesday is a global movement focused on generosity, community, and positive change. For ERA, this day highlights the importance of digital access and the ongoing need for reliable technology in classrooms across Canada.

The devices donated to École Sainte-Marie Mère de Dieu will be used directly by students to support learning activities such as research, presentations, printing assignments, and developing essential digital skills. The projectors and monitors will also play a key role in enhancing classroom engagement and improving access to visual learning tools.

Reducing E-Waste While Expanding Opportunities

ERA’s donation program focuses on repurposing and refurbishing electronics collected from businesses and individuals, ensuring these valuable devices are reused instead of ending up in landfills. By extending the lifespan of technology, ERA promotes a circular economy while meeting the needs of schools, nonprofits, and charitable organizations.

This Giving Tuesday donation demonstrates how electronic reuse can make a real difference—reducing e-waste while empowering students with the tools they need to succeed.
