Monthly Meetings and Speakers:

On the 2nd Friday of every month (except July and August) at 7 PM we have a meeting open to the public at the Sechelt Library which is simultaneously virtual on Zoom. Donations are gratefully accepted at the door. Meetings commence with a brief business meeting followed by a lecture or educational class that is usually over by 9 pm. Tea and coffee are always served. Check out the listings of the upcoming speakers here. Click on the name of the speaker to go to the detailed posting for the event:

Public Viewing:

The Saturday night following our monthly meeting has traditionally been the public viewing night at our SCC Observatory (conditions permitting). Check out the Calendar page for dates and our Observatory page for more details on the SCC Observatory and look for viewing updates on our Facebook page. Viewing dates will be posted here on the web site and updated on the day of the viewing to confirm opening. Since we won’t open if weather conditions are unfavourable, always check online before setting out to the observatory due to weather conditions.

Astro Cafe:

Every third Friday of the month  we meet informally at 7:30 pm at Tim Hortons in Sechelt and discuss astronomy news and developments. As soon as it is dark (weather permitting) we take our telescopes out to the seawall for public viewing of the night skies. Absolutely free! Everyone Welcome!

Travelling Neighbourhood Star Parties:

Members take their telescopes to communities on the coast to share observations with the public. If you’re interested in this, please contact us.
