Samsung Canada and Jays Care provide innovative technology for Indigenous youth
Samsung Canada is pleased to announce a partnership with the Jays Care Foundation, a charitable arm of the Toronto Blue Jays Baseball Club, to support increased access to technology and educational aspirations for Indigenous youth across the country.
Fluctuating effects of COVID-19 on indigenous communities, Jays Care has worked to support its indigenous partners on their path to recovery.
By being a part of this project, Samsung Canada is donating more than 500 Samsung Chromebooks to children and teens at Jays Care Indigenous programs. Laptops were distributed in 27 indigenous communities across Canada.
According to many Indigenous communities who have applied for technology tools, the widespread shortage of technology in their communities has presented challenges to many young people.
