We are very excited to be hosting our first Yuri’s Night !
Yuri’s Night is the World Space Party. It is held every April on the anniversary of the first human flight into space. Yuri’s Night is celebrated through hundreds of events around the world.
“Circling the Earth in my orbital spaceship I marveled at the beauty of our planet. People of the world, let us safeguard and enhance this beauty — not destroy it!”
— Yuri Gagarin, 1st human in space.
Still not sure what Yuri’s Night means? Listen to Chris Hadfield as he wishes the World a Happy Yuri’s Night from the ISS.
Details of Yuri’s Night events around the world are provided here.
Our Yuri’s Night guests are from a local Grade 6 class. The night will start off with a BBQ followed by popcorn and a movie in the hangar…. Hidden Figures.
