How can you help fight climate change, improve air quality, and conserve fossil fuel? By helping to boost awareness of energy conservation as part of the Turn It Off! BC program, where British Columbia turns down the power and saves energy for one day.

Turn It Off! BC is a new partnership initiative with BC Hydro.  Join global leaders like Paris and Sydney in using designated "lights out" times as a way of bringing attention to energy use. Show the world that British Columbians stand behind our commitment to sustainability -- by turning off our lights and other electrical devices on the evening of Wednesday, May 16th.

These municipalities are committed to participating in Turn It Off! BC:

    * Bowen Island
    * The Town of Gibsons
    * City of Kamloops
    * City of Langley
    * City of North Vancouver
    * City of Port Coquitlam
    * City of Richmond
