The 29th annual meeting of the Canadian Astronomical Society was held at the hotel Loews Le Concorde in Québec City, May 19-22, 1998. Cette rencontre a coïncidé avec le 20e anniversaire de l'Observatoire du mont Mégantic.

Le doyen de la Faculté des Sciences et Génie de l'Université Laval, monsieur André Cardinal, souhaitant la bienvenue aux participants.
About 70 posters were presented at the meeting. On voit ici Dany Dionne, de l'Université Laval, admirant l'affiche du "Galactic Plane Survey" (Taylor et al).
If all goes according to plan, Gemini-North will see first light before the end of 1998. This beautiful model was displayed at the entrance of the salon Jean-Paul Lemieux.

It take a lot of pennies to organize a CASCA meeting. Serge Pineault is delighted with the fund raising...
