About Us
We are dedicated to bridging the digital divide and empowering communities across Canada.
Building a Digitally Inclusive Canada
Computers for Success Canada (CFSC-OPEC) is a national non-profit organization committed to building a more digitally inclusive, environmentally sustainable, and economically empowered Canada.
We partner with the Government of Canada on the Connecting Families Initiative, industry leaders, and a network of provincial and territorial affiliates to reduce the digital divide, extend the life of technology, and provide digital skills training to Canadians who need it most.
A Canada where no one is excluded from digital participation
We envision a future where every Canadian regardless of geography, income, or background has access to the digital tools, access, training, and support needed to participate fully in society and the economy.
We are driven by three core pillars
Digital
Inclusion
Ensuring equitable access to technology for underserved Canadians, students, immigrants, low-income families, Indigenous communities, and non-profits so no one is left behind in the digital age.
Environmental Responsibility
Reducing Canada’s e-waste footprint by refurbishing and redistributing donated devices, diverting electronics from landfills and extending their useful life in line with industry’s best practice
Workforce Development
Enabling Canada’s future digital workforce through hands-on youth internships in IT refurbishment, digital literacy, and tech support, opening doors to employment and career opportunities.
Empowering Communities for Change
Computers for
Success
Thanks to the Affiliate operations in most provinces and territories the Computers for Success (CFS) program refurbishes used computers to provide schools, libraries, Indigenous communities, low-income Canadians, and non-profits with the technology they need, enhancing digital access and digital literacy for those who might otherwise be excluded.
Connecting Families Initiative
The Connecting Families Initiative (CFI) helps eligible low-income Canadians access affordable high-speed internet, reducing the digital divide and enabling all Canadians to benefit from internet connectivity.
CEO Pledge
The CEO Pledge is a commitment by business leaders across Canada to donate their used IT assets to Computers for Success (CFS) for refurbishment, recycling, and redistribution.
Research Programs
We collect data and conduct research that helps the Government of Canada better address the digital divide. Our research ensures that we are constantly innovating so that our programs reach those individuals and organizations that need them the most. We generate data-driven insights to enhance digital inclusion, support sustainability and ESG, leading to policy recommendations.
