SickKids will join millions of people across the world by powering down for Earth Hour on Saturday, March 27, from 8:30 to 9:30 p.m. Last year’s impressive participation of 4,000 cities in 88 countries made Earth Hour 2009 the world’s largest global climate change initiative.
To continue last year’s tradition, exterior lights will be shut off on Elizabeth Street, University Avenue, the driveway and old Emergency entrance. Interior lighting will go dim on the McMaster-Atrium bridge, Atrium corridors between units, windows in the Terrace Café, the Rotunda and Atrium Fountain.
Emergency lighting will remain on during the hour for safety and security purposes.
Wondering how you can participate? It’s easy! Just switch off your lights at home or go out and join the Toronto celebration at Yonge-Dundas Square, where lots of family activities and a free concert will be happening. To find out more, visit: www.earthhour.org.
