The Calgary Centre of the Royal Astronomical Society of Canada (RASC) marks its 65th anniversary this weekend. It's also celebrating another stellar milestone: secured funding for a new public observatory.

If all goes according to plan, the new star-gazing facility will be built in Ralph Klein Park, a 30-hectare wetland on the city's southeastern edge.

"Hopefully, we'll be able to start this year with construction," said Robyn Foret, the past-president of the society, in an interview on the Calgary Eyeopener.

For the last seven years, the Calgary Centre, at which Foret also served as president, has raised money through donations and the province's casino fundraising program — which allows charitable organizations to conduct and manage casino events. [...]

One of the main goals of the new observatory is to be a place where all Calgarians can look deeper into the cosmos.

Simon Poole, the current president of the Calgary Centre, said the observatory will host free events open to amateur astronomers and first-time star-gazers alike.

"It's critical that we attract a diverse array of Calgarians and make it inclusive for everyone," he said. "The idea is to generate a whole new generation of students who are excited about STEM, especially reaching out to the under-represented groups."
