Julie Bolduc-Duval

Julie Bolduc-Duval is an educator and has taught physics and astronomy in various settings across the country for over 15 years. She has been the coordinator for Discover the Universe (DU) since its launch in 2011 as a legacy program of the International Year of Astronomy in 2009.

Through DU, Julie offers training in astronomy to teachers across the country and around the world, in both French and English. Historically, DU has been a partnership among CASCA, the Royal Astronomical Society of Canada, and the Fédération des Astronomes Amateurs du Québec. Dunlap and DU are now partners in offering and developing free training and resources to educators teaching astronomy across the country.

We wish to acknowledge this land on which the University of Toronto operates. For thousands of years it has been the traditional land of the Huron-Wendat, the Seneca, and the Mississaugas of the Credit River. Today, this meeting place is still the home to many Indigenous people from across Turtle Island and we are grateful to have the opportunity to work on this land. For more information.
