The RASC Toronto Centre is hosting the 31st Annual Meeting of the International Occultation Timing Association (IOTA)

One of the benefits of membership in the RASC Toronto Centre is access to specially arranged Members Nights at the David Dunlap Observatory in Richmond Hill. These were launched in January 2012 as a once monthly Saturday evening whether skies were clear or cloudy. Each event had a pre-announced theme. We gathered for pizza, participated in a seminar on the theme for the evening, and did some observing and imaging.
