Switch off the lights, turn up the fun! Join us for Earth Hour and the Climate Ready Home Show on March 28, 2026 at Vaughan City Hall (2141 Major Mackenzie Dr.) from 6:30 p.m. to 9:30 p.m.

Following last year’s success, the Sustainable Neighbourhood Action Program (SNAP) team is partnering again with the City of Vaughan to deliver the Climate Ready Home Show in conjunction with the City of Vaughan’s annual Earth Hour event. Earth Hour is a celebration of our commitment to the planet.

Looking for easy ways to live more sustainably? Curious about making your home more energy efficient? Want to inspire your kids to become climate champions? We’ve got you covered!

RESERVE YOUR SPOT

We have a whole evening of fun planned for everyone to enjoy! Here are some highlights:

Discover how to make your home more sustainable: Check out the Climate Ready Home Show to learn how to make your home more energy efficient and climate resilient through retrofit solutions and innovative technologies. There will also be exciting raffle prizes!

Make paper lanterns: Light up the room! You and your family can get crafty and learn how to make a paper lantern on-site. Decorate it as you like and light it up with a safe battery-powered candle.

Explore vendor booths: Learn from the pros! Visit various on-site booths to learn about adopting sustainable habits and how you can help protect the environment.

Go on a nighttime walk: Explore Vaughan – in the dark! A guided nighttime walk will start at City Hall at 8:30 p.m. and take one hour to complete, roundtrip. Wear reflective clothing, bring your own flashlights and maybe even a traveller mug with a warm drink.

Drink hot chocolate: Warm up at the hot chocolate station.

Ride a smoothie bike: Take turns peddling a stationary bike to turn frozen fruit into smoothies!
