Unique gift idea: Dedicate a Star to a loved one
Did you know that you can dedicate a star right here in Vancouver and support a non-profit that inspires curiosity and celebrates the beauty and wonder of the universe. HR MacMillan Space Centre recently launched a Dedicate a Star Program that allows you to choose a star for a special person or occasion in your life.
It’s a unique way to commemorate a birth, birthday, wedding, anniversary, memorial or tribute. And it’s the perfect gift for the astrology-obsessed child in your life! Or the one one has everything (early Christmas shopping anyone?).

How to Dedicate a Star
First you choose your star from a list of constellations that are within the Vancouver night sky or choose your own.
When you choose your star, you’ll receive a star dedication certificate. You can include a personalized message too! (Up to 150 characters.) Or choose one of the sample ones provided by H.R. MacMillan Space Centre. They have a variety of themes from celebrations to tributes.
There is also a map showing the location of your star and an information sheet about the constellation so you or the recipient can learn all about it.
The Dedicate a Star package includes a personalized star dedication certificate, information about the constellation, a star map showing the star’s location and a tax receipt will be issued for the full amount of the order.

Star dedication prices range from $50 to $500 with the magnitude of stars becoming stronger (brighter) with higher values.
Pro tip: These are tax deductible so hang onto those receipts for tax time.
