ENTRY PHASE FOR COMPUTER LAB CONTEST CLOSE TO COMPLETION
RICHMOND HILL, ON, Dec. 16 /CNW/ - Only one week left to enter the Staples Canada Recycle For Education Computer Lab Contest - rewarding the country's most eco-responsible school with a $50,000 computer lab.
"We have received a tremendous amount of support from schools throughout the country, and delighted to learn about the environmental programs that our young people are taking part in," says Steve Matyas, President of Staples Canada.
The Computer Lab contest is the first of its kind for the office supply retailer, who will determine the top five schools in January before declaring its winner in the spring.
"This is a chance for schools to improve both their community, and their school by winning this contest. We also feel this will get more people motivated to start eco-responsible programs if they haven't already done so," says Matyas.
Entries will be accepted until December 23, and will consist of a 500-word essay on a school's environmental activities which have been in existence for at least one calendar year. For more information visit: www.staples.ca/recycleforeducation.
