Transit Windsor has been directed to continue with enhanced Sunday service only, seven days a week until at least June 21, 2020, extending the order regarding transit service delivery implemented on May 4, 2020. The City of Windsor and Transit Windsor have been monitoring and analyzing ridership figures since the resumption of service began. Due to the continued public health crisis, current ridership has been reduced by about 90%, as compared to pre-pandemic figures from May 2019.

Continuing to provide enhanced Sunday service only until June 21, 2020 allows those residents who rely on Transit Windsor to access services, while also providing services commensurate with current demand. Ongoing monitoring will occur throughout June to determine if service levels need to be addressed further as the Province of Ontario considers allowing additional staged re-openings.

All Windsor routes that normally have a “Sunday” schedule will continue to be in service seven days a week, except for the Central 3 West and the Tunnel Bus. Transit Windsor’s website has been updated to include the current schedule and policies.

Fares continue to be waived, and all passengers are asked to enter and exit the bus through the rear doors. Riders with accessibility needs may continue to use the front doors, and one wheelchair passenger at a time may occupy this area.

The monthly meeting of the Peterborough Astronomical Association's (PAA) will still take place online June 5th, not at our customary location of the Rotary Education Centre/Guest Services Building, Riverview Park Zoo, but instead in your own home. Even Covid-19 cannot stop the spread of information and knowledge by the members of the PAA. Our work around involves using a platform called Zoom. To participate just make sure that in advance, you opened a (free) Zoom account on whatever iphone or tablet device you wish to participate with and then contact paamal3@peterboroughastronomy.com for the password and link to our evenings presentations.

This year’s “Novice Astronomy Classes” are focused on the practical aspects of learning about astronomy. You will be introduced to astronomy related subjects at a very basic level, but in a logical sequence.  This month's session is entitled  “Meteor Showers”. There will be discussion and illustrations of what they are, how and where to view them on a month by month basis, as there are lots of opportunities each year. If you are interested, be on-line by 6:00 p.m. The classes will run about 45 minutes each session, before our regular meeting resumes. 

Our main presentation for May will start shortly after 7:00 p.m. and this month, it will feature PAA President, David Mills, with a talk entitled, “The Top 15 Objects to see this Spring and Summer”. Learn what cool Galaxies, nebula and star clusters are able to be seen from the beginning of June to the end of August. This will be a great primer as we enter the peak viewing season of the year. The price is right…it costs you nothing but your time.  

Next will be the always interesting Gadget Corner, by our Past President, Rodger Forsyth. Stick around to see what Rodger has in store for us.

The Sky This Month will be posted on our club website for all to access. There will also be the usual opportunities to have your questions answered, at no cost. All we ask is that you register in advance at paamal3@peterboroughastronomy.com This is an all ages meeting and  the venue is totally barrier free. Just relax at home and “live and learn” as they say. Also, you don’t need a telescope to participate, but a curious mind helps.
