During that hour, the Town will be turning off as many lights as possible without jeopardizing public safety. The lights will be off in a number of areas, including: Civic Centre (with one parking lot light left on for security) Eighth Line pathway between Maple Avenue and the Gellert Centre Durham Street Park walkway Remembrance Park Acton and Geo- rgetown indoor pools (only entry l ights wil l be lef t on) Prospect Park and Cedarvale leash- free zones Outdoor ice rinks at the George- town Fairgrounds and Sir Donald Mann Park Some local busi- nesses have also been encouraging people to turn out the lights for Earth Hour. Debbie Smart, the manager at Waste- wise, has put up posters and notices around the building to encourage customers to participate. Wastewise will be closed and have its lights off on Saturday night, but Smart is doing what she can to let others know. She has used e-mail and Facebook to let her personal and professional contacts know about the event. If everybody participates, maybe itll make a difference, Smart says. Shelly Silk, the owner of Alexandres Gifts, is raising awareness for Earth Hour in her end of town. She has been putting up posters around her business in the Georgetown South plaza. She is also encouraging her staff and customers to turn off their lights that night. It might not seem like turning off the l ights is a big deal, Silk says. But if a lot of people do it, it is a big deal. It will make a differ- ence. Alexandres will be closed on Saturday night, but Silk plans to cele- brate Earth Hour at home. She is hoping to organize a games night with her teenage children. Just because the hydro is off, you can still have fun. You dont have to go to bed, she says. Szybalski hopes the residents of Halton Hills will follow Silks lead and plan activities for Earth Hour. He is also encouraging residents to register at www.wwf.ca/EarthHour and to e-mail him at damians@haltonhills.ca so he will have an accurate idea of how many people are participating. Even though Earth Hour hasnt hap- pened yet, Silk is already making plans for next year. She hopes to have a spe- cial Earth Hour sale at her store for next years event. Well do it the old-fashioned way, she says. Well write out receipts by hand, accept cash only and use candles for light. Szybalski is also making plans for next year. He hopes to get more busi- nesses involved and to encourage local restaurants to offer special candlelit din- ners during Earth Hour. He is also thinking about organizing a street festi- val for that night. The hope is that Earth Hour will bring awareness to saving electricity, he says. Dont just do this for an hour. Have Earth Hour every day. For more information on Earth Hour visi t www.earthhour.org or www.- wwf.ca/EarthHour.

The Fire Marshal of Ontario recommends that you use flashlights and battery-powered lanterns during the hour of darkness on Saturday night. If you do use candles, the Fire Marshal recommends the following safety precautions: Use sturdy candleholders. Ones with glass shades or chimneys are best Keep candles safely away from anything that can burn Keep candles and matches away from children Do not leave a lit candle unat- tended. If you leave a room, blow out the candle Fire Marshals Office says to play it safe during Earth Hour Continued from pg. 1
