Canadian Space Agency astronaut Jeremy Hansen will share his experiences from his historic mission around the Moon at a free event hosted by the Ontario Science Centre. The event, titled "To the Moon and Back Live," will take place on 11 June at 7 pm at Toronto's Elgin Theatre. Hansen, the first Canadian to participate in a mission aboard NASA's Orion spacecraft, will engage in an interactive Q&A session, providing insights into the Artemis programme and the future of space exploration.
The Ontario Science Centre, in collaboration with the Canadian Space Agency and Elgin Winter Garden Theatres, is organising this family-friendly event. Tickets, available from 5 June at 12 pm, are limited to five per person and must be booked online due to limited capacity.
Paul Kortenaar, CEO of the Ontario Science Centre, expressed excitement about the event, stating, "We are honoured to present this special event with Colonel Hansen, who continues to inspire millions across the globe." Stan Cho, Minister of Tourism, Culture and Gaming, added, "Jeremy Hansen's historic mission sparked Canadian pride across the nation."
For those unable to attend in person, a recording of the event will be available later on the Ontario Science Centre's YouTube channel. The Ontario Science Centre, known for its engaging science programmes, will continue to offer interactive exhibits and experiences at its interim location at Harbourfront Centre starting in Summer 2026.
