Nipigon Ontario Blog

This past weekend was the LED seasonal light exchange and we've got some kudos to dole out to the folks at the Canadian Tire in Nipigon.

Jocelyn and Antje rocked up to the store with a bit of information to be sure, but was it ever helpful to have support from the store.

Most of us have seen seasonal LED strings in the past couple of years, either on store shelves or hanging from neighbour's houses and trees. They're the brighter, better holiday lights that not only look more colorful and vivid, but also use about 95% less electricity than your old incandescent-style light strings.

Get ready for energy efficient Christmas tree lights, Nipigon.

We're in town on Saturday, November 17 at the local Canadian Tire between 10 a.m. and 2 p.m.

Bring down one of your old strings of lights and do the switcheroo for a new & improved energy-saving string of LED lights. This is a one day only thing.

Hope to see you soon!

One Change is undertaking a special energy-saving initiative this holiday season, with a Seasonal Light Exchange to take place at retail stores across Ontario. We need volunteers in the locations listed below to make it happen!

Edison's dimming bulbs. An interesting piece from Slate on consumers and the gradual move from incandescent to CFL technology, and the role governments and retailers are playing in this migration.

Hundreds of regular folks have volunteered with Project Porchlight, delivering energy-saving CFL lightbulbs in their neighborhoods, to their social circle, at community events. But there's lots of Porchlight bulbs to go around, and we need your help to get them out there!

Hello! Welcome to the Project Porchlight home page for our campaign in Nipigon. We're glad that you've found us!
