The last total solar eclipse experienced in Alberta was in 1979. This month’s solar eclipse will be near total for residents of British Columbia, but even here in Alberta, the eclipse will be discernable with 20% of the sun covered by the moon.

Take a few simple precautions and you can watch this celestial event safely.
