Brampton Teens Embrace Earth Hour 2014

08 April 2014 - by YMCA Green Team

Teens with glow sticks and break dancers took over the Brampton YMCA late March as they celebrated Earth Hour together. Between 8:30-9:30pm, non-essential lights were shut off marking the sixth time Brampton YMCA participated in the annual event that raises awareness about environmental issues.

Not only was the event a time to support the environment, but as Tamar Connell, Health & Fitness Program Supervisor - Aquatics as well as the coordinator for Teen Nights, mentioned, it was also a great opportunity for various groups of teens to interact that may not normally do so on a regular basis.

Here are some photos from the night:
