Details on Earth Hour can be found at www.earthhour.org.
Kevin currently manages initial client engagements with the MaRS Venture Group. He also administers a federal fund that provides mentorship to start-up companies across Ontario.

The MaRS operations team is coordinating the initiative, so questions about this should be directed to Randal Froebelius at 416-673-8123.
