In collaboration with the city of Sherbrooke and Entreprendre Sherbrooke, the «Objectif Ciel Étoilé» (Objective Starry Sky) project aims to create the first commercial arterial road in Quebec to conciliate the needs of enterprises and the preservation of the night sky.

Since 2016, scientific instruments placed at the summit of mount Mégantic have been observing the changes in the night-sky luminosity. These tools allow us to keep watch on the quality of the starry sky in the core of the Reserve. In order to better follow the evolution of light pollution, measurements are now also taken from the city of Sherbrooke.
