Something is happening at the Prince George Observatory…

The past couple of weeks have been busy behind the scenes, and today we’re excited to share a little glimpse of the progress.

The concrete pathway is now in place around an area that is going to become something very special.

But that’s all we’re saying for now… 🤫

And if you’re joining us tonight for our Open House, you’ll get to see the progress in person!

A little reminder: The new concrete path is still fresh, so please be careful while walking on it and follow any directions from our volunteers.

Our amazing volunteers have been putting in a tremendous amount of time, energy, and hard work to help make this happen. We’re incredibly grateful for everything they’re doing.

There’s still a lot of work ahead… but the first pieces are starting to come together.

Can you guess what we’re working on? 🤔

Stay tuned…
