1.93M `Galileo Moments’ of personal astronomical discovery through some 3,600 reported events later, the Canadian IYA partnership of amateur and professional astronomers has transitioned to Beyond IYA activities aimed at solidifying the legacies we hoped to establish. A focus of BIYA in Canada is on reaching out to youth in underserved communities (inner city, Aboriginal, rural) with the support of a three-year grant from the Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council to our partnership. During 2010 volunteers have continued strengthening relationships with Canadian parks and libraries, partnering with Aboriginal Elders to convey their cultures’ stories of the night sky alongside current scientific knowledge, science centers, educators and artists, among others. Salient aspects of the Canadian BIYA efforts will be described.
