Community members in Egmont now have free access to a Mac desktop computer and printer/scanner at the Bathgate Store! This new Computer Kindness Corner initiative is designed to help residents overcome digital barriers and connect to essential services.
The computer is equipped with bookmarked links to key government and program websites. There is also a folder of frequently used forms printed and ready to go —such as Service Canada and legal aid documents. Whether you need to go online, print, or scan documents, this public computer is available free of charge during Bathgate Store’s open hours (please call them ahead to confirm times – (604) 883-2222). The Bathgate store is located at 6781 Bathgate Rd in Egmont.
This initiative is part of the broader Pender Connections partnership between the Resource Centre and Pender Harbour Health Centre and is made possible thanks to support from the Sunshine Coast Foundation Prosperity Fund, Ian from Computer Kindness, and BC Community Gaming Grants.
