Next Meeting Announcement from Steven Pellarin, President of Windsor Centre, RASC

Our next general meeting will be held on Tuesday, June 16, 2026 at 7:00 pm Eastern Time at Ojibway Nature Centre located at 5200 Matchette Road, Windsor.

Our main talk this month will be an update regarding Light Pollution by our past president and current light pollution abatement officer, Mahayarrah Starr Livingstone. Our Director of Observing Report on current celestial events will be given by Juliana Grigorescu. Juliana will also be presenting a short quiz on basic astronomical concepts.

** Please note that we will also be discussing and possibly voting on a new potential partial fuel re-imbursement policy that our Council is recommending for volunteers who travel heavily to our Hallam Observatory to help us with our private stargazing tours and maintenance. I have attached a letter to the meeting call-out email detailing the rationale and providing information on the policy that Council would like to put into place. I ask that you take the time to read the letter before our meeting on Tuesday so that the discussion is informed and we make effective use of our time at the meeting.
