Still looking for Land

published by newrasckc on Wed, 01/16/2019 - 10:28

Just a reminder that we (RASC-Kingston Centre) are *still* looking for land within an hour of Kingston.  Our intent is to use it as a members observing site, and to build observatory homes for our telescopes.
We routinely monitor realtor.ca and kijiji.ca for land sales but perhaps you know of someone who may not be advertising on these sites, that may wish to sell property.
