Trottier Observatory\u00a0Tour<\/strong><\/h2>\n\"\"\n

Nestled within the heart of the Burnaby campus, the Trottier Observatory is the flagship facility in the Faculty of Science\u2019s myriad outreach programs.<\/p>\n

The observatory is located at the east end of campus near Strand Hall. It features a six-meter-diameter dome housing a 0.7-metre diameter reflector telescope that is capable of tracking distant galaxies billions of years old.<\/p>\n

The telescope will also provide a digital feed and can be remotely accessed and deployed by community groups and schools across Canada. You can check out the latest images from the telescope\u00a0here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The viewing plaza offers a sundial, space for people to set up their own telescopes next to the dome, and an outdoor gallery featuring illuminated seasonal star charts.<\/p>\n

2019 CAP Congress participants are invited to tour\u00a0General Fusion<\/a>\u00a0in Burnaby, BC.\u00a0\"\"<\/p>\n

General Fusion was founded in 2002 with a goal to transform the world\u2019s energy supply by developing the fastest, most practical, and cost-competitive path to commercial fusion power.<\/p>\n

In 2006, Dr. Michel Laberge completed proof-of-principle experiments, and with the support of leading venture capital firms, General Fusion began building a team that today is recognized as a global leader in commercial fusion energy.<\/p>\n

The company has now grown to a team of more than 70 at its world class laboratories in Burnaby, just outside Vancouver, where it is developing the key components of the world\u2019s first fusion power plant.<\/p>\n

General Fusion has been recognized globally for its work in clean energy technology, and is a member of the Cleantech Global 100 (2014, 2015, 2016\/17) as well as the recipient of numerous Canadian and international cleantech awards. In the media, Dr. Laberge\u2019s 2014 TED Talk about fusion energy has attracted over one million viewers, and the company has been featured in publications such as TIME Magazine, Scientific American and BBC Horizons.<\/p>\n

Fusion energy has the potential to create a cleaner, safer world, and General Fusion is developing the technology to make it available as soon as possible.<\/p>\n
