Relying on our membership

The Nanaimo Astronomy Society is a registered non-profit society dedicated to teaching people about astronomy.

We fund our outreach, events, learning and web resources, and other programs through our memberships and fundraising. 

Member benefits 

  • Free attendance to our monthly meetings held nine times a year, featuring world-class speakers in astrophysics, cosmology, and astrobiology drawn from the largest concentration of astronomy-related talent in Canada at the National Research Council Herzberg Astronomy and Astrophysics Research Centre, and the University of Victoria.  Society members and others also present on a variety of topics, including observing, space exploration, astronomy history and tourism.
  • Borrow a telescope from the Society loaner scopes.
  • A voice and vote in how the Society is run and what we focus on.
