Earth Hour

On Saturday, March 25, you can join the Township of Langley by encouraging sustainable habits that will help in the fight against climate change. We’ll be turning off non-essential lights at Township facilities from 8:30 to 9:30pm as part of Earth Hour. By doing the same at your business, or at home, you can help encourage everyone to adopt more sustainable habits, including using less electricity. It’s also a great time to consider other actions you can take, such as buying second-hand clothing, setting your thermostat cooler in the winter and warmer in the summer, and using active transportation (for example, walking and biking).

Earth Hour is organized by the World Wildlife Fund, which aims to demonstrate that by everyone coming together, we can change the future of our planet for the better.

The Township of Langley strives to act as a leader in environmental sustainability, and as part of the Climate Action Strategy, the Township takes an active role in combating climate change. Over 100 action items are outlined in the Strategy, including increasing our participation in events such as Earth Hour and encouraging residents and businesses to take part, too. Celebrating initiatives like Earth Hour helps spark local interest and conversations in climate change, energy and carbon emission reductions, and environmental conservation.

Note: The Township’s participation in Earth Hour will not affect the operation of public facilities that will be open at that time. Lights required for security, parking, or safety will remain on, but will be dimmed or reduced if possible.
