25th Anniversary Open House and renaming ceremony

February 28, 2023 was the 25th anniversary of the University of Waterloo Weather Station, and on May 18th from 3:30-5:30 pm there was a celebration of this event with an open house at the station along with the official renaming of the station in honour of the late Civil Engineering Professor Ric Soulis. The new name of the weather station will be the 'Eric D. (Ric) Soulis Memorial Weather Station'.  Ric was the driving force behind establishing this station 25 years ago.  

Thanks for everyone who came out!

Here are some pictures from the event:
