​The Lethbridge Astronomy Society is composed of individuals from all walks of life who are interested in astronomy and space science. The Society is a non-profit, charitable organization, incorporated under Alberta’s Societies Act. We host many in-person and online educational events for the general public, schools, corporate organizations, other nonprofit societies and students of Physics and Astronomy at the University of Lethbridge.

Over the past 40 years, we have built one of the finest amateur astronomy facilities in Canada.  Important relationships with the City of Lethbridge, the Province of Alberta and the University of Lethbridge support our ongoing program activity. We have no paid staff and general operations are conducted entirely by member volunteers. Members of the Lethbridge Astronomy Society have access to our facilities, to our equipment and to free mentoring from experienced club members.

As a Registered Charity in Canada, we gratefully accept any and all donations. If you wish to donate, find us at canadahelps.org, or email us at lethbridgeastronomy@gmail.com.

IN MEMORIUM

With great sorrow, we announce the passing on June 28th of Rick Ponomar, after a period of illness.  He was one of the earliest members of the club, and made many contributions that set the course for what the Lethbridge Astronomy Society has become today. We send our deepest sympathy to his family and friends, and our unending gratitude for all that he did for the club. More information about his life and his many contributions can be found here and here.
The Community Foundation of Lethbridge and Southwestern Alberta is running a contest this summer, called 23 in '23.  They were the major funder of the The Lethbridge Solar System Model, and it is featured in the contest! Now is a perfect time see it, and join in the fun. Further details are here.  GOOD LUCK!!
