Due to an enthusiastic response, we are no longer accepting volunteers for the Spring Work Party as we have reached our capacity in being able to provide a place to sleep as well as cooking for everyone. This year, the Carr Astronomical Observatory (CAO) is celebrating its 20th anniversary.  This site and the facilities that we continue to use today could not have reached this milestone without the countless hours put in by RASC-TC volunteers at work parties to do regular maintenance and to make improvements.

Toronto Centre members and their families are cordially invited to attend the 20th Annual Carr Astronomical Observatory (CAO) Open House and RASC Toronto Centre Awards Picnic on Saturday, July 7th, 2018.

This year’s Spring Work Party will be held on the weekend of May 4-5, 2019. Volunteers are invited to arrive as early as Friday late afternoon to enjoy some social time before the work begins the next morning and comes to an end around noon on Sunday. As a volunteer, you will be provided all meals from Saturday breakfast to Sunday lunch plus all regular CAO user fees are waived for the weekend. Tasks at this event will include the usual spring clean up chores plus various upgrades and repairs to the house and observatories.

All are cordially invited to an Open House at the RASC Toronto Centre's E.C. Carr Astronomical Observatory (CAO) on Blue Mountain. The Open House will offer presentations on astronomical themes as well as guided stargazing as weather permits. More information on the event can be found here.
