So you wanna see the Solar Eclipse coming up but you don't want to fry your eyeballs??

No luck finding eclipse viewing glasses?
Unless you've got a welding helmet it is really dangerous to look at the sun!
But there are some creative ways to view this once in a life time event without having to kill your eyes...

Projecting the Sun in a box projector, with binoculars or a telescope, or using only 2 pieces of cardboard is a safe and easy way to see a solar eclipse.

After the August 21, 2017 solar eclipse, the next solar eclipse visible from High River will be on October 14, 2023.

The next solar eclipse where the path of totality passes over High River will be on August 22, 2044. (27 years and 1 day after the upcoming eclipse)
