Their contributions to this guide can be seen throughout and their experience is very highly valued! Further, I'd like to thank all the participants in the Focus groups in Toronto and Montreal. Their opinions were invaluable to the development of this guide and its structure.
For the Toronto Focus Group, gracious thanks goes to the University of Toronto Department of Astronomy and Astrophysics for the venue.
For the translation and facilitation of the Montreal Focus Group, I'd like to thank Carole Charlebois, Marthe Poirier and the Conseil de développement du loisir scientifique. They have been strong supporters of the vision of this project from the start.
I'd also like to thank James Grant and Lightbox Technologies Inc. for their technical support and services.
Finally, I'd like to thank Reni Barlow and Joshua Liu, from whom this idea originally sprung. Their work and assistance on this project has been endless and without them, this project would never have left the drawing board.
Thank you all.
