Event Information:
Being the Director of the Rothney Astrophysical Observatory has led me down many trails, but none more astounding, energy draining, thought provoking, aggravating and rewarding, than the struggle to keep the stars sparkling above the RAO. I will share stories of my interactions with: The City of Calgary and Transportation Alberta through the UCalgary Community and Government Relations office, The Foothills County Municipality, urban Community Development planners and Ring Road construction companies, The Ann & Sandy Cross Conservation Area, the RASC Calgary Centre, and the neighbors who live adjacent to the RAO. (I'm sure I've forgotten somebody...)
