Earth Hour

March 30, 2019

Let’s Switch off our lights today for Earth Hour!

This Saturday, March 30, marks Earth Hour and we are encouraged to switch off any unnecessary lights for 60 minutes.

By 2020, the world will lose 67 per cent of wildlife populations. The main cause is loss of habitat, climate change and pollution which are the main factors that cause species to go extinct. When you turn off your lights, you show that you care about the decline of wildlife.

Global study finds Canadians share most favourable view of immigrants

Canadians have the most favourable view of immigrants among the world’s top migrant destination countries, viewing newcomers as a strength rather than a burden, says a new international survey. The report by Washington-based Pew Research Center also found Canadians are the least likely to blame immigrants for crime or an increased risk of terrorism, among the respondents in 18 countries that together host half of the world’s migrants. “Canada is at the top of the list in believing immigration is a plus to the country,” said Jeffrey Reitz, director of ethnic, immigration and pluralism studies at the University of Toronto’s Munk School of Global Affairs and Public Policy, who is not involved in the survey. 68% of Canadian respondents in the survey believed immigrants make the country stronger while only 27% said newcomers are a liability because they take jobs and social benefits, said the report.
