CNC and the United Way of Northern B.C. have teamed up to help the South Peace Seniors Access Society.
CNC donated six desktop computers and six monitors in response to a request through the United Way of Northern B.C. from the South Peace Seniors Access Society, one of its partner agencies.
SPSAS board members are ecstatic with the news. “This donation will provide the society with a set of computers to instruct seniors who wish to learn basic computer skills,” said SPSAS secretary Charlie Parslow. “In addition, the computers will be used to help seniors read documents and to process information they need when accessing services from government and other sources.”
“On behalf of the Board of Directors for the SPSAS, I would like to express appreciation for the kind donation. Through this donation the College of New Caledonia has played a pivotal role in helping to make Seniors Access Centre for the South Peace Region operational.”
It’s a win-win opportunity for CNC too.
“We are very happy to help out a great organization like the United Way as well as seniors in our region,” said Randall Heidt, CNC communications manager. "Both of them make very valuable contributions to our society and it’s wonderful to be able to give them some tools to support them.”
