Nutrien Helps ERA Donate 10 Computers to White Buffalo Youth Lodge

By electronic recycling association August 11, 2021

The Electronic Recycling Association (ERA) is grateful to have clients like Nutrien that want to make a difference in their communities by donating computers to charitable organizations in need. Once ERA pickups their computers, we data wipe the drives to ensure no sensitive information remains and then install an operating system, now they are ready for a new home! The White Buffalo Youth Lodge received 5 desktop computers and 5 laptops that Nutrien provided which will be used by the kids for their afterschool program.

Nutrien is the world’s largest provider of crop inputs and services, playing a critical role in helping growers increase food production in a sustainable manner. Big thanks for partnering with us to make this donation happen!

The White Buffalo Youth Lodge (WBYL) is dedicated to improve the quality of life and health for children, youth, young adults and their families in the inner city through integrated, holistic support services. The vision of White Buffalo Youth Lodge is that through the collaboration of all orders of government and the community; children, youth, and young adults will have the capacity to make healthy life choices and be leaders in the Saskatoon community.

WBYL is a multipurpose centre used during the day for educational classes, functions, meetings, etc., and in the late afternoon/evening it serves as a youth recreational facility fostering a safe and fun environment for all to participate in.
