If someone in the North End needs a computer for school, work, or just staying connected, this could really help. An Indigenous-led group called North End Connect is giving out free desktop computers to North End residents—no cost, no catch.

So far in 2025, they’ve already given out over 250 refurbished devices, and there are still desktops available. It’s open to anyone in the area who could use a device to get online, study, apply for jobs, or connect with others.

✅ How to Apply
