The Mars Society of Canada

The Mars Society of Canada is a federally registered not-for-profit in Canada. Its members run education and analog research projects in support of Mars science.

The society is a volunteer and membership based organisation. It builds local chapters, holds conferences and workshops, and works with academia, industry and government. The site describes a knowledge exchange network for the public and space professionals.

The Mars Explorer Program and the Mars Explorer Mobile Education Station are public education projects. The site also lists MarsRoast, MarsLog, Mars Papers, Marspedia and Mars Infographics.

Analog research includes Analog Station MDRS and Analog Station FMARS. The site also lists diaries from analog Mars and a section on Mars habitat design.

The site sets out arguments for Mars. These include scientific discovery, economic return on investment, the view that Earth should be fixed first, the protection of life from Earth, and the question of Mars versus the Moon.

Membership starts at $50 for one year. Higher levels start at $100 for three years and $600 for life. Benefits include postcards, stickers, a membership card, discounts at the MarsShop and voting rights at the AGM for the top tier.

The contact page asks visitors to send a message. The site says the team responds within two business days. It links to Facebook, LinkedIn, X, Instagram and YouTube pages.
