BELCO’s Earth Hour Creativity Contest Winners
During the Earth Hour celebration on Saturday evening [Mar 23] at City Hall in Hamilton, BELCO Chief Operating Officer Denton Williams announced the Creativity Competition winners.
Each winner receives a $100 cash award, as does his or her school. This year, the Honourable Mention winners also received $50 cash awards, because the judges found their entries to be of such high quality.
