The Computers for Schools (now called Computers for Schools Plus) program was announced by the federal government at a pivotal point before the internet became mainstream, and when computers cost thousands of dollars each. It was financially difficult for schools to afford equipment and it made more sense to redirect equipment to schools where a need existed, rather than landfill. Industry Canada formed a partnership with the Telephone Pioneers of America. Government would provide the assets and funding, and the Pioneers would provide space and much needed volunteers to refurbish the computers. All Provinces and Territories joined the initiative donating their equipment, and local non-profit CFS+ chapters were established.

The Technical Work Experience Program (TWEP) was formed with funding from Employment and Social Development Canada’s Youth Employment Strategy. This has allowed CFS+ organizations in Canada to provide technical employment to more than 6000 youth, helping them gain the critical skills and experience they need to enter the workforce. We hire around 20 interns per year. TWEP was rebranded to the CFS Intern Program in 2018.

We rebranded to our legal name, "BC Technology for Learning Society" to better reflect all the community organizations we serve.

Known today as “Tech for Home”.
