Speaker's Night and Annual Business Meeting

Once a month, we invite someone from the scientific community to share their expertise and latest research. 

A Half-Century of Astronomy Outreach: Stories, Reflections, and Lessons Learned

Dr. John Percy, University of Toronto Professor Emeritus, Astronomy and Astrophysics

I will review and update my half-century of experience in astronomy outreach in Canada and beyond, the organizations in which I have served, and the factors that have contributed to success -- notably partnership. 

The RASC figures prominently in my experience; I have been a member since 1961.  One of my goals in this presentation is to encourage the RASC to continue and expand their Michael-Smith-Award-winning outreach work, which I enthusiastically support.

Talk starts at 7.30, socializing starts at 7.00.

Who can attend: everyone including non-members
Fee: free, free parking after 6pm
Reservation not needed 
Location: Ontario Science Centre (Imperial Oil Auditorium)

After the conclusion of Dr. Percy's lecture, there will be a short recess followed by the RASC Toronto Centre's annual business meeting.
