Location

Join Downsview Park Volunteers and the Allan I. Carswell Observatory (AICO) team for a special pop‑up stargazing experience on the first clear night between March 23–27 at Downsview Park.

Small telescopes will be set up for public viewing from 8:30 PM to 9:30 PM, giving visitors a chance to enjoy spectacular celestial sights with guidance from knowledgeable volunteers and AICO staff. This family-friendly program is weather dependent, as it takes place outdoors.

Please register to receive same day notifications confirming whether the event will proceed based on sky conditions.
