Location: Torrance Barrens Conservation and Dark Sky Reserve

Dates: 7pm | Friday, March 13, Saturday, March 14

Enjoy the night sky with interpreter Emara Streich for an evening of star stories at the world’s first permanently designated Dark Sky Reserve, Torrance Barrens. With minimal light intrusion, hard granite surface, accessibility, and 360 degree viewing, this truly is a remarkable place in Canada to admire the cosmos. 

You’ll learn about winter constellations and visible planets, and feel more confident locating these (and can practice pointing them out with a laser!). You will also be given a customized night sky chart, depicting the stars as they are oriented during this event at this location (a great tool for celestial navigation and an awesome keepsake from this experience)! This gathering is meant to inspire you to continue to explore the night sky on your own, and with practice, it will become full of familiar beings, animals, and other objects!
