Only 20% of the Earth’s population lives in areas without light pollution, where the night sky can be seen as it was always meant to be seen. Join us online for this year’s General Assembly and learn about astro-tourism and protecting our night skies.

Workshops and Talks

From new stargazers to advanced astronomers, these hands-on sessions will teach you new skills. Learn how to participate in citizen astronomy projects, how to connect with your local government about protecting dark skies, and how to plan your astronomy vacation.

NOVA Program Preview

Are you just starting out in the world of astronomy? Join us for an afternoon preview of our New Observers to Visual Astronomy Program. The program is designed to teach beginner astronomers everything they need to know to get started in observing.

Keynote Speaker

Join us Saturday evening for our evening session on Canada’s role in astronomy and space exploration.

Astro-Tourism

As light pollution affects more and more people living in urban centres, the desire to escape the city and see the skies in a truly dark place becomes more popular.

This year we will host sessions useful for those working in astro-tourism, as well as those who may travel to see the stars.
