Those who have received the equipment from Electronic Recycling Association (ERA) in the past have remarked on how windows of opportunity are opened by having the equipment. Shell Canada has been an instrumental partner of ERA in helping to fill some of the multitudes of requests we receive on a daily basis. The Immigrant Education Society (TIES) was one of the grateful recipients of Shell Canada’s contribution and happy to receive 20 laptops to their low-income newcomer clients in Calgary, AB.
Founder & CEO Bojan Paduh states, “Our partnership with Shell Canada has allowed us to donate thousands of devices to charities and individuals in need throughout the community and the country over the years. We look forward to continuing to positively impact lives through the gift of technology.”
