About the Presenter
My name's Trevor, and I'm the host of Plateau Astro!
In 2018, I began Plateau Astro to teach people of all ages what we can see in the urban night sky. Since then, I've given dozens of presentations – remote and in-person.

In 2019, I became the English host of National Geographic Observetoiles in Sutton, Quebec. Here, I present to over 200 people teaching them about the night sky in an outdoor planetarium.
When COVID-19 began in March 2020, I began doing live streams on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram about space and astronomy. Over 100 hours of live streaming later, remote teaching is now fun and natural to me.
I guarantee: your group will have fun and learn something new.
