Salmonberry Day is on. Download the Salmonberry Days Calendar and join us at the Salmonberry Day events enjoying yet another glorious Dunbar Spring.

Everything is on, rain or shine EXCEPT for May 9th’s Dunbar Night’s Sky. CHECK BACK HERE if the weather looks dodgey to ensure May 9th Night’s Sky is on. The event will be postponed to May 16th otherwise.

Any changes, errors or omissions will also be mentioned here.

UPDATE: MAY 20TH’S TOONIE TALK CANCELLED
The Chinese Farmers of Musqueam Toonie Talk had to be cancelled as our speaker, Larry Grant was called away on business. We hope to have this talk as one of next year’s Salmonberry Days events.

UPDATE: April 15/08. Online Calendar updated. Minor errors corrected.

DUNBAR’S NIGHT SKY happened on May 16th. The night sky was reasonably clear and the evening’s temperature was warm after a gloriously warm May day. The only problem was a slight disturbance in the sky caused by confluence of cold and warm air currents that occasionally distorted our viewing of Saturn, the moon and other heavenly bodies.

We are very appreciative of the astronomers who came out early to set up their telescopes and then stayed late to disassemble everything. Great job Folks!!
