Feb. 27: Star gazing for the whole family

On Feb. 27, AstroMcGill presents a new type of event, called the AstroKids Night. Instead of the public lecture given during the regular public astro night, there will be many fun, hands-on activities for kids of all ages. There will also be night sky observations at the McPherson observatory. This evening is open to all, free of charge, and no reservation is necessary.
