Special Note:
Our current situation in North Bay and of course worldwide, has caused disruptions and cancelled numerous events. The province of Ontario is currently under a state of emergency . The main thing to consider when making a decision is the safety and health of all our members, as well as the friends and families and our community at large. The Canadian government have closed all National Parks. The Provincial Parks have since done the same. Rasc is stating that all social events, ie starparties and public viewing, be cancelled until at least the 1st of June. Because of the close proximity of people using our eyepieces and equipment, they are stating that it is not advisable. Although no public or government advisories have been issued directly relating to these events, the Powassan Maple syrup Festival, as well as the Frozen Banana, as well as the Dyer needs star parties are cancelled. . The meeting for April and May, are also at this point cancelled as well, as I believe the schools will probably extend their closure time.
Please check our website from time to time for any further updates that may be posted.
If you have any questions/concerns feel free to email any of the executive for further information.
Hope this finds everyone healthy, and fit, Executive of the North Bay Astronomy Club
