Yukon
Kate Weeks, who graced Project Porchlight's Yukon launch with some very pretty tunes, is on tour. Check out her site for all the dates and details!
Lighting up the Yukon was a lot easier than we southeners had thought it would be. And that's completely because of the amazing people that we worked with while we were there. The folks at the Energy Solutions Centre were a font of knowledge and enthusiasm (and let us work in an office with a wicked mountain view - we don't get that in Ottawa...).
Despite the mildly chilly weather (minus 35 today with the wind in Whitehorse!), volunteers in the Yukon have been getting a tremendous number of bulbs out to their friends and neighbours. There are only a few days left in the main portion of our campaign, so if you're in the neighbourhood, drop by the Energy Solutions Centre and pick up your bulb!
We have 10,000 bulbs for Yukon residents. That's $500,000 in energy savings. We need help to get these bulbs out street-by-street in the communities beyond Whitehorse. Boxes of 100 bulbs are being sent to the communities by the Energy Solutions Centre. The boxes also include delivery bags, hats, pins... everything you need to deliver bulbs. All we need are volunteers.

How many light bulbs does it take to change the Yukon? 10,000.
How many does it take to save $50. One.
Drop by the Visitor Information Centre tomorrow (Tuesday) at 4 PM to be among the first to get a free Project Porchlight compact fluorescent bulb (CFL).
While the people of Project Porchlight spread out across Canada for launches this week in Thunder Bay, Ontario and Whitehorse, Yukon, I thought I'd get caught up on our most recent media coverage.
