Earth Hour results: The numbers are in

Did you turn out the lights on Saturday? If you're on the east or west coast, your answer is more likely to be a yes than if you're a prairie-dweller.

The Earth Hour numbers are in. Did Canada's hour of darkness make a difference? The Weather Network looks at the stats:

New Brunswick

It was New Brunswick's most successful Earth Hour to date, according to NB Power. Electricity consumption decreased by 24 megawatts, which is the equivalent to seeing 480,000 lights turned off in the province.

Nova Scotia

Nova Scotia Power claims the province saved 18 megawatts of power.

Prince Edward Island

P.E.I.'s numbers were less impressive than last year's. Only about 2,200 islanders participated, in stark contrast to the 21,000 who took part in 2009.

Ontario

Is it fair to blame the cold? Below-seasonal temperatures in Toronto are the excuse for a four per cent drop in energy consumption as compared to six per cent last year.

Manitoba

Note to Earth Hour organizers: Promote the event in Manitoba next year. Not only did Manitoba Hydro not track participation, most Manitobans surveyed had little idea as to what Earth Hour was.

Saskatchewan

A two per cent drop in Saskatoon points to more substantial participation than in previous years.

Alberta

Despite the energy-saving competition between Calgary and Edmonton, the minor blip in energy reduction in Calgary is barely countable. In Edmonton, power consumption actually increased.

British Columbia

B.C. saw 117 megawatts of power saved over the course of one hour. That's a 1.04 per cent drop in the province's electricity load, and less of a dent made in both 2009 and 2008.

While energy was certainly saved across the country, the momentum of Earth Hour seems to have stalled in Canada.

Around the world, it is estimated that over a billion people from 134 countries participated.
