“The schools on Tsuut'ina Nation are bursting at the seams,” says Lorianne Tenove, Tsuut’ina Board of Education’s director of education. “Along with high enrollment comes a need for extra resources to support curriculum and 21st century learning. We are reorganizing spaces to accommodate Learning Commons in all of the schools so that students can have access to desktops and laptops to do research and project based learning. We are so grateful to have these extra resources donated to us so that we can continue to support our students successfully.” “We are really excited about this donation, it is ERA’s largest independent donation on record” says Bojan Paduh, founder and president of ERA. “The volume of equipment means every student at each of these Tsuut’ina Nation schools will directly benefit. We are also extremely grateful, and would like to recognize our corporate donors, specifically Suncor, Fortis Alberta, TransCanada Corporation, Asset Canada, Altalink and Home Trust for collaborating with us on this donation to ensure students are receiving the best quality refurbished equipment available.” Media representatives are invited to attend and cover this donation story as ERA and Harvey the Hound present Tsuut’ina Nation schools with 225 computers.
