"Mark Your Calendars: Rare Total Solar Eclipse to Grace Ontario in 2024"

Ontario is preparing for a rare total solar eclipse happening on April 8, 2024, which will be visible across much of North America. The event, considered a "once in a lifetime" opportunity, will plunge the planet into temporary darkness as the moon aligns perfectly between the Earth and the sun. Safety concerns have been raised, prompting an Ontario Eclipse Task Force to focus on educating the public about safe viewing practices. Traffic congestion is also expected as thousands of people are anticipated to travel to areas in southern Ontario for the best views.
