This spring, Toronto is launching the “Lights Out Toronto” campaign to protect over 25 million migratory birds during their migration seasons. The city is urging residents and businesses to turn off unnecessary nighttime lighting, which lures night-migrating birds into urban areas and leads to fatal window collisions. With millions of birds passing through Toronto, reducing light pollution is an effective way to minimize these fatalities. The campaign, running from mid-March to early June and mid-August to early November, encourages simply actions such as turning off decorative lights and closing curtains. With established bird-friendly policies and support from organizations like FLAP Canada, Toronto aims to create a safer environment for these vulnerable species as they navigate their migration routes.
