Visitors aged 6 and older will enter a Digital Portable Planetarium and take a journey through the universe led by a DDO astronomer.

Abstract: In this talk, Quinton Weyrich will discuss his experience as an Astronomer in Residence at Killarney Provincial Park, the first provincial park in Ontario to be designated a dark sky preserve. He will discuss what commitments a location must make in order to be designated a dark sky preserve and why the reduction of ambient light within them is scientifically and culturally valuable.
