We have found a new home! - York University

Submitted by contact@jamesc… on 25 August 2024

Since the unexpected immediate closure of the Ontario Science Centre, we have been looking for a new meeting location, and we're glad to announce that with the help of York University, we have!

We will be meeting at Room 317 of the Petrie Science Building at York University for events like our monthly Recreational Astronomy Night!

York University also hosts public weekly stargazing in the Arboretum! Get more information at York University Observatory and tickets here today.

We hope to see you there!

Keep looking up!
