Durham Nuclear Awareness has coordinated the Durham Region visit of Cyrus, the Greenpeace mobile mobile solar power plant, which is visiting visiting five Ontario cities during June to promote renewable energy. Cyrus will arrive at the southeast comer of Iroquois Park in Whitby at 11 a.m. June 27,1994.

Named after the Persian god of the sun, the truck was fitted with a solar powered recording studio last year, and was used to produce the album album Alternative NRG, featuring bands such as R.E.M. and U-2.
