Earth Hour 2010
Earth Hour 2010 is just around the corner! This year Earth Hour will be held on Saturday March 27 between 8:30 p.m. and 9:30 p.m.
In partnership with the City of Mississauga, Enersource is working hard to educate residents and businesses about the importance of Earth Hour not just across the globe, but in our own backyard.
Enersource will show its support by supporting the City of Mississauga's Earth Hour celebrations at the Mississauga Civic Centre from 7:30 p.m. until 9:30 p.m. on Saturday March 27. We will also be turning off all non-essential outdoor and indoor lights in our offices, including Enersource's LED road sign and decorative light fixtures.

Enersource is challenging our business customers to shift their non-essential electricity for one hour during this year's Earth Hour period. Are you participating in Earth Hour? Let us know - send us an email at: earthhour@enersource.com.
