This year you can also set the mood with romantic candlelight dining at several local restaurants. Tourism Vancouver has already put together a full list:

Bitter Black + Blue C Restaurant
Cardero’s Chambar Ciao Bella
Coast Coza Tuscan Grill Dunn’s Famous
Fishworks Fleuri Gerard Lounge
Joe’s Apartment Bar Judas Goat Taberna La Terrazza

If you’re not up for going out, stay in and play board games, have dinner by candlelight, or read a book with the kiddies. You can join Earth Hour online, download posters for your office or school, and get ideas for activities in the dark during this 5th annual global event.
