NOTE: This tour is both indoors and outdoors in the middle of summer.  Sometimes it can be warm and sometimes it can be cool.  Bring a light jacket, just in case.  But most certainly, mosquitos will be “feasting”, so please bring your mosquito repellant!  

Also note that the Hallam Observatory can only host a maximum of 20 people each night.  There will be a waiting list based on the demand, and potentially a second tour will be hosted in early fall 2025.  More details to follow as registration progresses.

If you find that your plans have changed and you can no longer attend, please contact us for cancelling your ticket.  This will allow us to offer those on the waiting list a ticket to attend.  Thanks for being considerate of others!

For any questions regarding the event, please feel free to contact Sean McCann, P.Eng. ([email protected] or 519-890-7377)
