President's Message
2025 RASC OKANAGAN CENTRE PRESIDENT
Wes Quist
Hello, everyone!
My name is Wes Quist, and I’m thrilled to introduce myself. My love for astronomy began in my youth, growing up on a remote farm far from the glow of city lights. I spent countless nights marveling at the stars, armed only with a set of binoculars and accompanied by my loyal dog, letting my curiosity guide my exploration of the night sky.
Eighteen years ago, my wife, son, and I decided to make Kelowna our home. It was here that we discovered the NOVA program, which inspired us to join the Okanagan Centre club with great enthusiasm. Being part of this extraordinary community has not only strengthened my passion for astronomy but also blessed us with cherished friendships and a profound sense of belonging.
Now, it is truly an honor to serve as president. I’m excited for the road ahead, as we continue to learn, grow, and shine together at the RASC Okanagan Centre.
Wishing you all clear skies!
Wes Quist
