The possibilities are endless...

...if the Dominion Observatory in Ottawa is reopened to the public.

The Dominion Observatory in Victoria, British Columbia.

1.)  Reinstate Canada's Maple Leaf Flag on the Astrophysical Observatory.

2.) Do not permit the demolition of the Sir John Carling Building cafeteria annex. Agriculture Canada employees want to convert the annex into a visitor's centre and a museum for a world-class collection of insects. Line the walls with portraits of royalty and world leaders who visited the farm-HRH Princess Anne; Soviet Leader Mikhail Gorbachev; the Emperor and Empress of Japan.

 Activities that could take place at the visitor's centre:

---hand out brochures providing a history of Canada's Farm and the Observatory Crescent. Research conducted at the Farm helped a group receive the 2007 Nobel Peace Prize.

---Astronauts and astronomers can greet visitors and give presentations. I interviewed American astronaut James Irwin, see my blog "My interview with Apollo astronaut James Irwin."

---reserve one table so that members of the public can rent or buy binoculars and disposable cameras and buy souvenirs. Rent special cameras to Startrackers.

----another table can display magazines and books. Canadian Geographic magazine has a 2010 article entitled "Tour the International Space Station with Canadian Astronaut Chris Hadfield" and throughout the years many more articles about outer space were featured in the publication.

Sell or give away post cards that feature drawings and photos of buildings on the property---the greenhouses, Booth Barn, Agriculture Museum, the Azimuth, Photo Equitorial Building...etc.
