For pictures of the 2010 event at Yonge-Dundas Square see my blog post here.
The Earth Hour action will be in Yonge-Dundas Square this year as CityTV hosts Kevin Frankish and Dina Pugliese will usher in darkness with a free concert by Chantal Kreviazuk, Jarvis Church and Justin Nozuka. Lots of buildings have posters displaying their support of Earth Hour - including the Eaton Centre.
