Mood lighting was the order for the evening as Toronto lit candles for Earth Hour. Mill Street Brewery in conjunction with over 60 other venues held a Lights Out event featuring acoustic performances from local musicians including Big Rude Jake. Fifty cents from every pint sold was donated to Earth Day Canada. Toronto Hydro, meanwhile, reported a six per cent drop in electricity use during Earth Hour.
