“It’s double good news as businesses of all sizes benefit from this new federal tax credit for new computers in Budget 2024 – OPEC is encouraging these companies to partner with us to donate, recycle and rebrand their used equipment to enable economically disadvantaged Canadians to engage, learn and stay connected in their classrooms and with their families,” says Michel Langelier, OPEC’s Executive Director.
