The Jewel of the North will be shining brighter as Slave Lake attendees embrace our energy-efficiency campaign to light up the town. Fourteen volunteers signed up to help get over 1,800 bulbs distributed to their neighbours in Slave Lake. Many others enthusiastically endorsed the benefits of making the switch from incandescent bulbs to more efficient compact fluorescent light (CFL) bulbs.
