Community IT project will trade work for work/storage space We have a small basement room, east side of of downtown Toronto, for both storage and workspace to asses and refurbish surplus computers. We are running out of room, and need additional work/storage space, perhaps a second room in another building. Needs to be somewhere in downtown Toronto -- near U of T campus or west side between Yonge St. and Bathurst St. would be ideal. Needs to be a location we can secure and can access evenings and week-ends, as our project is coordinated by folks who work during the day.

We can offer IT support or donate other time and skills in exchange.
