The National Program

Computers for Schools is a Canada-wide program that provides refurbished computers to schools, libraries and not-for-profit learning organizations at little or no cost to recipients.

This propgram was co-founded in 1993 by Industry Canada and the Telephone Pioneers, the world’s largest industry-related volunteer organization. This unique program effort is supported by provincial government departments and agencies, the education community, and the private sector.

Federal and provincial departments and agencies, and many private sector companies, donate computers and related equipment to the Computers for Schools Program. Schools apply for and receive complete computer systems, each consisting of a CPU, monitor, keyboard, and mouse, and loaded with either Windows 98 or Windows 2000 operating systems.
