Please use the form on this page for questions about public astronomy outreach, membership inquiries and general questions and comments about the York-Simcoe Amateur Astronomers.

The members of the York Simcoe Amateur Astronomers love what we do and are always interested in sharing our enthusiasm with communities that are interested in astronomy.

We regularly visit schools and other groups to give them an opportunity to see the night sky. If your school or organization are interested in astronomy and don’t know where to start contact us and we will see if we can arrange for some of our members to visit. We are available to speak to your group about astronomy as well as arranging for a viewing with our scopes so that you can see the night sky up close and personal.

If you have any questions, or need any further information please feel free to send us an e-mail using this form:

Comments or questions are welcome.
