People, Businesses, Cities and Schools are invited to conserve energy by powering down for the day and having fun with the lights off!
Blackout Day recognizes a massive Blackout that occurred on August 14, 2003.
It was the largest blackout in North-American history, and affected significant portions of the Northeastern United States and most of Ontario for up to 3 days in some areas.

Congratulations to the City of Owen Sound for signing up to participate. Let's make it count!
