Earth Hour in Peace River: Turn Off Your Lights and Come for a Walk

Saturday night (March 28), 8:30-9:30, join millions around the world during Earth Hour and turn off the lights to mark awareness of wiser use of energy by making choices about using electricity.

Peace River Town Council voted to support the initiative and Town facilities will turn off unnecessary lights during that time. I'm proud to know that Peace River is among the 2712 cities, towns and municipalities in 83 countries that have committed (as of today) to participating in the VOTE EARTH, as part of the world's first global election between Earth and global warming.

Some Town Councillors (Wanda Laurin and me, for sure) plan to get outside for a walk during that hour so if you would like to join us at Riverfront Park at 8:30, please do.

But whether or not you come for a walk or go for one in your own neighbourhood, please consider turning off your lights during that hour. See what you can do without power and join millions around the world doing the same.

The Earth Hour in Canada website features activities around the country and you can register there.
Join the excitement--it is becoming quite an event!
