Municipality making sustainable switch to LED streetlights

The municipality is taking a step forward in sustainability in the form of streetlights.

Right now, the city is working with ATCO to convert almost 4500 streetlights to LED technology.

The LED lights are easier to maintain, have a yearly energy savings of over 50 percent, and will reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 1060 tons per year.

This conversion started in June and is on schedule to finish up in November.

The lights have also been dark-sky certified, with the intent to reduce light pollution.
