Featured sponsorship: EPIC Sustainable Living Expo

BC Hydro Power Smart was proud to sponsor the EPIC show from May 8 to 10, 2009 at the new Vancouver Convention Centre (a Power Smart High Performance Building) in downtown Vancouver.

BC Hydro kicked off the event with Lisa Coltart, Executive Director for Customer Care & Power Smart, welcoming Matt Hill and Stephanie Tait, founders of Run for One Planet and Team Power Smart leaders back to Vancouver where they shared harrowing stories from their 11,000 mile run across North America to inspire environmental action.

More than 16,000 people attended the show and were able to visit the BC Hydro booth to find out about joining Team Power Smart and learn about energy-efficient Power Smart programs for BC Hydro customers. Our representatives added more than 250 members to Team Power Smart.
