H.R. MacMillan Space Centre
Vancouver (Colombie-Britannique)
The H.R. MacMillan Space Centre, featuring state-of-the-art, interactive exhibits, shows, and demonstrations, was opened in October 1997. Features include the Virtual Voyages™ full-motion simulator, the GroundStation Canada demonstration theatre and the Cosmic Courtyard hands-on exhibit gallery. The H.R. MacMillan Planetarium, which opened in October of 1968, remains the cornerstone of the H.R. MacMillan Space Centre, presenting multimedia shows on space and astronomy.
Other resources include the Gordon MacMillan Southam Observatory – celebrating over 20+ years of showing stars to the citizens of Vancouver.
The H.R. MacMillan Space Centre is a non-profit community resource that brings the wonder of space to Earth, while providing a personal sense of ongoing discovery. Through innovative programming, exhibits & activities, our goal is to inspire sustained interest in the fields of earth science, space science and astronomy.

Programmes éducatifs
School Programs
The Space Centre has an extensive field trip program for K-12. More than 40,000 students participate annually. Field trips consist of planetarium presentations, science demonstrations, hands-on workshops, interactive exhibitions and a virtual voyage ride.
Outreach Programs
The Space Centre offers an overnight adventure program, space camps, and Sharing Space, an innovative new career preparation / mentorship program for high school students.
We also organize The Great! Mars Rover Race, a high school design competition, where students are challenged to design, build and race a Mars Rover.
The Space Centre is the coordinating organization for BC and Alberta for Canadian National Marsville. Marsville is an innovative, national program that involves students grades 4-8 in the design of an imaginative future civilization. A multi-layered program, Marsville is cross-curricular and challenges students to think creatively and work in teams to solve various hazards they face in a unknown, often hostile environment on Mars. This past year, The H.R. MacMillan Space Centre coordinated the efforts of 22 classes from 15 different schools from BC and Alberta. A record 550+ students were involved.
The Space Centre also takes our programs into the community. We offer Starlab workshops in our portable planetarium for schools, community and corporate groups. Our Community Astronomy program, a travelling lecture and star gazing program, takes our portable telescopes into parks and campgrounds throughout the province.
Teacher Professional Development
Engaging Science is a science enrichment and learning resource program designed to inspire teachers in Kindergarten to Grade 7. The program is a joint venture with Science World and the Vancouver Aquarium. It offer teachers a choice of twelve hands-on workshops that they can implement in their classrooms.
Customized Professional Development workshops enable adults interested in astronomy to work with Space Centre staff to design a program that works for their particular group.
Lectures for Adults
Each year, the Space Centre offers special guest lectures on a variety of topics related to astronomy, space and earth science.
This fall we will continue to offer an entertaining lecture series in collaboration with a local science fiction association.
