earth hour logoJoin the movement for change - turn off your lights for Earth Hour on March 28th between 8:30 and 9:30 p.m. Last year nearly 50 million people in 370 cities and towns around the world joined the effort and sent a strong message to world leaders. WWF Canada leads Earth Hour in Canada.

"With hundreds more cities expected to sign up to switch off in the coming months, Earth Hour 2009 is setting the platform for an unprecedented global mandate for action on climate change," said James Leape, WWF Director General.

Earth Hour is a World Wildlife Fund (WWF) event started in Sydney Australia in 2007. This year the WWF Earth House goal is for one billion people in 1,000 cities worldwide to participate in Earth Hour.

Spread the word! This grassroots campaign relies on you to invite your friends, family and local businesses to participate. Sign up at www.EarthHourCanada.org. Campaign images, posters, flyers, emails and videos are available on the website.
