Generator is back! Chris Hadfield’s famed comedy, music and ideas extravaganza is returning to Roy Thomson Hall.
Past years saw Neil Gaiman and Amanda Palmer, Mythbuster Adam Savage, Destin Sandlin from Smarter Every Day, architect Moshe Safdie, poets, cyborgs, exoskeletons, bionic Ironman hands for children, and much, much more. It isn’t an easy show to describe – you just have to experience it to understand.

Hover above the moon like an astronaut and get eye-to-eye with the planets. Find colourful stars, star clusters, bright nebulae and even another galaxy. Our monthly City Star Party is the place to catch universe from within the city limits at Bayview Village Park. If you don't have a telescope then you will find many astronomers who would love to share a view.
