On April 8, 2024, a once in a lifetime solar eclipse event is set to unfold in our region where the moon will completely block the sun, causing the sky to darken. Witnessing the total solar eclipse will be a unique experience and needs to be done safely.
The Municipality of North Grenville is hosting a live-stream viewing of the solar eclipse.
This free public event will take place Monday, April 8th, from 2:00 – 4:30 pm at the North Grenville Municipal Centre, 285 County Road 44, Kemptville.
Stay safe while watching the solar eclipse!
Solar Eclipse – Safety Precautions
*Caution* It is not safe to look directly at the sun without specialized eye protection for solar viewing. Looking directly at the sun without proper protection is even more dangerous during a solar eclipse. It can lead to partial or complete blindness if proper precautions are not taken.
Please follow the safety precautions. The Leeds, Grenville and Lanark Health Unit has issued safety precautions on their website.
Please note, the Municipality does not have eclipse glasses.
