To apply for equipment from CFSNB we ask that you
work with your school administration and technical
support staff.
This will ensure that a technology plan and the
necessary infrastructure are in place.
Once we receive the request we are usually able to
provide the equipment in less than 2 weeks.

One of our biggest focuses is to be as environmentally
responsible as we can.
Reuse has been proven to be far better for the
environment than recycling and youth are more aware
of the issues than previous generations.
CFSNB will work with you to encourage your students
to be environmentally responsible and explore all of
the various aspects of IT.
