You may have seen the Turn It Off tour in 2007. Last year the tour attended over 1,200 events in more than 80 communities across the province educating almost 400,000 British Columbians about energy efficiency. So be sure to watch for us this summer in a community near you!
All emissions associated with the Turn It Off tour are offset through investments in sustainable energy projects.
Let's celebrate B.C.'s 150th "anniversary"
