Many students come and go without knowing that University of Waterloo has an observatory that is located above the Physics building.
This Wednesday I participated in the monthly public tour and it was a clear night to see the Orion Nebula. Even though it was it was -20degC, there was quite a big crowd to learn a bit about astronomy and look through the telescope. It was a very neat feeling to be standing in the red glow staring into the dark skies.

Isn’t it wonderful? I took the [Arts] astronomy course two years ago and the prof took us up to the observatory after class a few times. It was incredibly cool. Definitely one of those little known facts about the UW campus.
Also, saw some of your pics from the dance in Toronto. They looked *great*.
