From the Town website:

Are you afraid of the dark?

The Town of South Bruce Peninsula has recently decided to challenge surrounding municipalities to see who is afraid of the dark, or rather who is in support of reducing green house gas emissions.

An important global warming initiative Earth Hour will be taking place around the world on March 29, 2008.

At 8:00 p.m. on March 29, cities around the world will turn off their lights for one hour to show that it's possible to take action against global warming.

Earth Hour, run by the World Wildlife Foundation, aims at focussing the power of individuals in making a difference. Last year nearly two million residents from Sydney, Australia participated in Earth Hour and were able to achieve a reduction of 10.2 % in C02 emissions.

This year the Town of South Bruce Peninsula is taking the initiative to become more earth friendly and would like to encourage all residents and businesses to turn off their lights on March 29 at 8:00 p.m for one hour.
