In partnership with Friends of the DAO, National Research Council of Canada, and Science Literacy Week, we present one final "encore" Star Party of Summer 2016! We have a great guest speaker lined up, plus all the other terrific activities you enjoyed all summer: planetarium, tours of the historic Plaskett telescope, observing through RASC members' telescopes and Centre of the Universe 16" telescope (both weather permitting), static displays inside the Centre of the Universe.
