Biography/Administrative history:

Show detail Hide detail

David Dunlap Observatory : For over sixty years, the David Dunlap Observatory (DDO), located in Richmond Hill, Ontario, has been one of Canada's premier astronomical institutions. Though it bears the name of the late David Dunlap, a wealthy lawyer and mining entrepreneur, the observatory is as much the legacy of Dr. Clarence Augustus Chant (1865-1956), referred to by many as the father of Canadian astronomy. The Observatory was founded by Dr. Chant, and officially opened on 31 May 1935. Home to the largest optical telescope in Canada, the Observatory is a research center of the Department of Astronomy and Astrophysics in the Faculty of Arts and Science at the University of Toronto, and also carries out active public education and teaching programmes.
