Fortis Alberta offers cash incentives for communities to take part in Earth Hour March 25th

LETHBRIDGE –  Fortis Alberta is once again offering grants to the communities in the province that save the most energy during Earth Hour March 25th.

The 1st, 2nd and 3rd place winners will each get $5,000, $2,500 and $1,500  respectively. 

Earth Hour is a global event that takes place every March to encourage people and businesses to turn off their unnecessary lights, appliances and machines to help conserve power and raise awareness of environmental issues.

Fortis Communications Spokesperson Natasha Russell says last year there were 25 submissions.
