From Niagara This Week:
The last time there was nary a light on glorious Niagara Falls was probably during the Northeast blackout in the summer of 2003.
Usually bathed in colourful light, later this month the falls will be shrouded in darkness again, this time intentionally along with most of the city, to help encourage energy conservation.
“How do you save the planet? One light at a time,” said Coun. Jim Diodati, who is challenging residents in the city and across the region to join in Earth Hour, a global movement turning out the lights for one hour March 29.
“It’s such a great idea and it’s not going to cost anyone anything. In fact its going to save money (on the hydro bills).”
