Artemis II Crew at Canadian Space Agency HQ — Public Virtual Livestream (Day 2 of Canada Tour)
Day 2 of the Artemis II crew's Canadian tour brought all five mission participants to the Canadian Space Agency (CSA) headquarters in Saint-Hubert, Quebec on May 14, 2026. The CSA hosted a public virtual event from 11:30 AM to 12:30 PM ET — broadcast live on the CSA's YouTube channel and Facebook page — during which Commander Reid Wiseman, Pilot Victor Glover, Mission Specialist Christina Koch, and Canadian Mission Specialist Jeremy Hansen (joined by CSA Capcom Jenni Gibbons) shared reflections on the Artemis II mission and answered questions from audiences across Canada and internationally. The format was bilingual (English/French) and included outreach to youth and Indigenous communities. The Saint-Hubert event followed the Ottawa portion of the tour (May 13: PM Carney meeting, Canadian Museum of Nature, sold-out National Arts Centre event) and precedes the Montreal stop (May 15, ticketed talk at Salle Wilfrid-Pelletier, Place des Arts). The crew's Canadian visit is anchored by Canadian Mission Specialist Jeremy Hansen — who on April 6, 2026, at 1:56 p.m. EDT, became the farthest non-American from Earth in history (252,706 miles) as part of the first crewed lunar flyby in more than 50 years. CSA headquarters, at 6767 route de l'Aéroport in Saint-Hubert (Montreal suburb), is home to Canada's astronaut office and the development program for Canadarm3.
