Without affecting life safety systems, impacting operations or inconveniencing the travelling public, YYC turned off non-emergency lights and mechanical systems to be a part of Earth Hour 2009. Working with airport partners, Calgary Airport Authority electricians developed a plan to reduce energy consumption in the Air Terminal Building for the 2009 Earth Hour event, once again showcasing YYC’s commitment to being an environment leader, locally and nationally. As Canada’s first GoGreen airport, Calgary International Airport continues to implement leading edge initiates and technologies to grow Canada’s third busiest airport, without increasing its environmental footprint. YYC, it starts here.   For further information, contact: Jody Moseley The Calgary Airport Authority 403-735-5899 (media line) SuperUser Account Tue, 31 Mar 2009 17:25:00 GMT f1397696-738c-4295-afcd-943feb885714:92
