Education Minister Tom Hedderson said, “This is a remarkable thing we have gathered to celebrate this morning - the 12,000th computer to be donated to our schools. It is not only a celebration of this one solitary computer - it is a celebration of a successful partnership that is benefiting our students province wide, and indeed across all of Canada. The success of the Computers for Schools program is a wonderful example of the power of the spirit of cooperation in the delivery of quality education to children in our province and our country.”
