The Electronic Recycling Association (ERA) donated a truckload of IT hardware to the Rehabilitation Society of Calgary to replace the group’s obsolete equipment. With the help of volunteer IT expert Glen Martin to install all new infrastructure, the Rehab Society now has current hardware for employees, the board, volunteers and members.
“We are really excited about this donation, the Rehab Society’s IT infrastructure needed a complete re-do, so there were some complex parts required,” says Bojan Paduh, founder and president of the ERA. “The donation, coupled with Glen Martin’s volunteer efforts, has allowed the Rehab Society to update all of their hardware and even launch a brand new website.”
“We have our new system all set up and operational, with several unanticipated benefits, including a website, a new newsletter, and much improved systems for the staff. Our volunteer, Glen, has been astounding. To date he has given us more than 360 hours. Thanks to him, (and ERA’s donation) we were approved for a summer student who has developed the website and helped staff update computer skills on the new machines. It has been busy and very exciting!”
