CALLING ALL CANADIANS!

Almost half of Canada’s adult population participated in the Earth Hour event on March 29, 2008 creating an unprecedented call to action on climate change.

The global results of participation in Earth Hour show that Canada led the world in their commitment to personal action. Nationally, more than 150 cities and municipalities turned off the lights – the most in any country. Canada also led the world in global sign-ups with more than 130,000 people registering online at www.earthhour.org, which was just a fraction of the actual participation.

HISTORY
In 2007, 2.2 million people took part in the world's first Earth Hour in Sydney Australia. Just one year later, 50 million people in 370 cities and towns, in more than 35 countries worldwide switched off their lights for Earth Hour.

Earth Hour 2009 aims to reach more than one billion people in 1000 cities around the world, inviting communities, business and governments to switch off lights for one hour at 8:30pm on Saturday March 28 and sending a powerful global message that we care enough about climate change to take action.


Join us for Earth Hour at 8:30pm Saturday March 28 2009!
It’s as simple as a flick of the switch.

CANADIANS....Saving the world, one light bulb at a time.
