Computers for Schools (CFS), co-founded in 1993 by Industry Canada and the TelecomPioneers, refurbishes computers and related equipment donated by governments and businesses. These computers are distributed across Canada to schools, libraries and registered not-for-profit learning organizations.

CFS is a national, federal government-led initiative that operates in cooperation with all provinces and territories.  Surplus computers and related equipment are donated by federal and provincial government departments, companies, organizations, and the general public.  This equipment is then tested, refurbished and distributed by local CFS programs in each Province to schools, public libraries and not-for-profit organizations.
