Where to Celebrate Earth Hour 2019 in Vancouver

Earth Hour returns Saturday, March 30, from 8:30 to 9:30pm. Now in its 12th year, the annual global initiative – recognized as “the world’s largest grassroots movement for the environment” – sees millions of individuals and businesses turning off their non-essential electric lights for one hour, to raise awareness about energy consumption and its impact on the planet.

Here are a few places in Vancouver that are hosting special activities or dinners in celebration of Earth Hour 2019.
