Caledon Scouts, Optimist Club and Knox United Church hosted Earth Hour in Caledon village
In a last-minute effort, an Earth Hour event, which included stargazing, hot chocolate, sparklers and a bonfire, was put together at Knox United Church in Caledon village Saturday night. Steve Hayward of the Caledon Lion's Club, who constructed a light switch the night before, and Octagon Club president Hillary Craiggs, got ready to shut off the lights as 8 p.m. rolled around. Once darkness fell, Liam McLaughlin,5, Mark Ruth, 9, Jonathan McKay, 8, and Connor McLaughlin,6 of Caledon village were handed sparklers (top right).

For Katie Windross, 4, of Caledon village, Earth Hour was the first time she held a sparkler.
