Roncesvalles Village - Toronto, Canada 

has hosted annual Earth Hour celebrations since 2010, led by

Karyn Klaire Koski.

 

"We’ve showcased local acoustic performers, choirs, flash mobs, lantern making workshops and candlelight walks. We have joined millions world wide, globally recognizing the largest planet-focused movement in the world!

 

Our City Councillor Gord Perks is a recognized environmentalist, our (former) MPP Cheri DiNovo and (former) MP Peggy Nash have been driving forces behind “Clean Train Coalition.” and our community group - RoncyWorks models success in street planning and preserving. And, no fewer than four school/residential associations in the community have Green Teams. We are champions of eco awareness.

 

Our community cheerleading caught the eye of WWF Canada, whose 2013 Earth Hour Campaign brings attention to the Cheerleader, both through a series of cheerleading videos and the appointment of regional Captains, of which I, your author, am one!

It was a thrilling opportunity for Roncy to welcome other Toronto residents to our community, helping to promote what Earth Hour is all about.

 

My own personal role is to Educate through Entertainment, I want to share my passion, engage new devotees, find more voices, attract larger crowds … in hopes that those in Government can see that the People want attention brought to Climate Change"
