300,000 Energy Efficient Bulbs to Light up Alberta as part of National Environmental Campaign

It's time to light up Welland!

We're recruiting volunteers in the Rose City today at Giant Tiger on Fitch Street. We'll be on hand from 10AM to 2PM, and we hope you'll stop by to say hello, pick up your free energy-saving CFL bulb, and learn more about Porchlight and our campaign in Welland.

Saturday, October the 27th was the big launch in Burlington at the Burlington Mall. Although the local Farmer's Market had agreed to let us set up outside, the weather was set to disagree with us.

Porchlight Alberta has launched!

Saturday in Medicine Hat was sunny but brisk - cheery. Perfect for the launch. Regional co-ordinator John Frame had already held an orientation for 50 volunteers and was helped to pack 60 bags by local Kiwanis members. The MedHat newspapers had run a half-page pic of John with bulbs and our recruitment ad. By the time we got to into town last night from Calgary (a three hour drive), we had every hope of a successful event!
