Each city was ranked out of 10 points, based on specific, climate-change related indicators, including: greenhouse gas emission reduction, municipal greenhouse gas reduction targets, renewable energy, green building and green transportation.
Vancouver is a clear leader, with a score of 8.1 out of 10, with Toronto and Montreal close behind. While these cities are leading the fight against climate change and should provide inspiration to all Canadian municipalities, every city has room for improvement.
Earth Hour is a call for action on climate change and these cities are providing positive examples of municipal programs that help Canadians conserve energy and use it more efficiently.
Join a billion people worldwide and switch off your lights on Saturday, March 26 from 8:30 to 9:30 p.m. To find out what’s happening in your city for Earth Hour, visit our events map.
