Refurbished desktop computers and monitors were donated to several residents of Thompson May 5, thanks to a partnership between the University College of the North (UCN) Northern Workforce Development Centre (NWDC), Tech Manitoba, Computers for Schools and NCN Thompson Bus Lines. With the COVID-19 pandemic shutting down schools and people encouraged to stay home as much as possible and not gather in groups of more than 10, the need for communications and learning technology has increased, particularly for those who can’t afford to purchase electronic devices.
