About the Ontario Evaluation Study

Since 2004, Project Porchlight has been doing what no energy conservation campaign has done before: reaching Canadians at the grassroots level. Delivered through a comprehensive social marketing campaign, Project Porchlight makes energy conservation accessible, relevant, and personal by giving regular people the power to take action in their own communities. Action that matters.

Have you heard about the Canadian Geographic Environmental Awards? Nominations for this green-inspired award have past, but there must be community-based awards and recognitions that take place all over this fine province of ours.

Power. Pride. Success.

That's the Jr. Sabres Hockey Team's motto, but I am adopting it for the Porchlight campaign in Fort Frances.

We're wrapping up Project Porchlight in northwestern Ontario, but not without making sure we high five all the folks who made it ... well, downright fun and easy ... in this neck of the woods.

Most of us have seen seasonal LED strings in the past couple of years, either on store shelves or hanging from neighbour's houses and trees. They're the brighter, better holiday lights that not only look more colorful and vivid, but also use about 95% less electricity than your old incandescent-style light strings.

Porchlight is coming back to Fort Frances, this time in the form of Christmas lights!

This Saturday, November 17, bring your old string of Christmas lights to the Canadian Tire between the hours of 10 a.m. and 2 p.m., and receive a voucher for a free string of energy-saving LED Christmas lights -- redeemable that day!

This is a one day only event. Hope to see you there!

One Change is undertaking a special energy-saving initiative this holiday season, with a Seasonal Light Exchange to take place at retail stores across Ontario. We need volunteers in the locations listed below to make it happen!

If anyone ever tries to tell you that there is anything more important than hockey in small-town-northern-Ontario, they may not know much about northern Ontario. (Okay, maybe they do know some stuff. Like maybe they're hunters or ice fishermen or something.)

Project Porchlight is coming to your community!

This award-winning energy efficiency campaign works from the grassroots in communities across Canada, spreading the message that simple actions can make a big difference when it comes to helping the environment.

Your students and staff can give us a hand!

We've brought on a number of field staff to help ensure that our distribution campaigns are going smoothly out there in communities across Ontario.
