This program, called Community Days, was first launched successfully in April and made possible through a $50,000 sponsorship from Enbridge, an energy transportation company that operates a natural gas pipeline system across the province. Enbridge partnered with the Space Centre to extend access to space education and experiences for Fraser Valley communities. Other than the Community Days, the Space Centre also brought the outer space experience to Fraser Valley during the summer fair events, including the portable planetarium, solar telescopes and other hands-on space themed crafts and activities.
