Our Power, a community-based clean-energy initiative, is made up of homeowners recruiting neighbours in order to bring affordable solar energy solutions into neighbourhoods across the city. This quiet revolution has become a little louder with the release of the Our Power Solar Music Compilation.

Whoever booked the bands for the Wintercity Festival this year definitely earned their paycheque. Typically these free shows consist of bands that are either Canadian Idol runners-up or musicians you've never heard of. While there are still some bands listed that'll make you say "who??!" there are a number of great acts that will make it worth the trek to Nathan Phillips Square and freeze your ass off for.
