Earth Hour

Last Saturday, April 23 between 8:30 and 9:30pm was Earth Hour, an event sponsored by the World Wildlife Federation to encourage people around the world to turn off their lights and save electricity for one hour.  Our school held a mini-Earth hour on Friday between 2:40 and 3:30pm, and even the hall lights were turned off during this time.

Many thanks to the administrative and custodial staff for their support in making this happen, as well as all the classroom teachers and their students who participated!

According to news sources, Saskatchewan didn't make a huge impact during this year's event.  The good news however is that we did better than last year when Saskatchewan's power consumption went up during that time!  We'll have to do even better as a province next year.


What did you do for earth hour?
