Join the Society Today!
There are numerous benefits of membership in joining RASC - Canada's leading astronomy organization, and our club provides Hamilton and Halton Region with many great programs. Whether you are a professional or amateur astronomer, or just someone who is interested in learning more, this is the club for you!
The Hamilton chapter is a vibrant community with a wide range of activities for all levels of interest. We are one of the few chapters in Canada that has its own dedicated observatory, with equipment freely available to all members for use. We welcome first timers to our monthly meetings where a different topic is featured.
