Please help us to spread the word about this event. Talk to your friends and neighbours and tell them about it. Every new person you bring with you is important. Please feel free to bring your children with you. We have a volunteer teenager who will provide some games and other entertainment for little kids and other teenagers may help with that.

Earth Hour is a global event organized by WWF (World Wide Fund for Nature, also known as World Wildlife Fund) and is held on the last Saturday of March annually, asking households and businesses to turn off their non-essential lights and other electrical appliances for one hour to raise awareness towards the need to take action on climate change.

We are currently organizing some draw prizes for both locations. If you would like to contribute a draw prize, please contact Rob Renaud (613)377-6385 or robertrenaud@persona.ca
