The global Earth Hour event highlights the need to conserve energy and take action on climate change. Everyone is encouraged to take simple steps to reduce energy use, including turning off any unnecessary lights, while staying safe. Since starting to participate in Earth Hour, the Halton Hills community has saved enough electricity to power about 17,200 homes for one hour!

If you are looking to do some star Gazing during Earth Hour? Head to Gardiner Public School (14365 Danby Rd, Georgetown) for a star gazing presentation, light refreshments provided courtesy of Saputo. Event starts at 6:30pm!
