Are you wondering whether to watch the eclipse or not?! 🤷‍♀️🤷

We encourage everyone to witness and enjoy this once-in-a-lifetime celestial event, but watch it safely with ISO 12312-2 certified eclipse glasses, like the ones we have distributed throughout Western NB.

No need to hide inside with the blinds pulled 🙈 and miss out on this fascinating sky experience! Just follow the guidelines from the Canadian Association of Optometrists 😎
