In this episode, Alison Canning, founder of Let's Get Together, shares the story behind her organization's mission to tackle Canada's digital divide.

Learn how her dedicated team of volunteers takes donated laptops, revives them with open-source software like Ubuntu, and provides them to those in need, along with vital internet access and digital literacy training. The impact is staggering: in just the last seven months, their single hub has kept nearly 70,000 lbs of e-waste out of landfills and provided over 1,000 people with essential digital tools. To date, they have distributed over 4,000 computers, with a goal to solve Canada's digital divide by 2030.
