A rare celestial show is set to take place on Monday, April 8 – but you need some special glasses to see it for yourself.

With that in mind, CTV News gave away solar eclipse glasses ahead of the big day.

The solar eclipse glasses have been provided by hologramZ. Additional pairs are also available for purchase at Play-A-Latte at 1601 River Road East in Kitchener.
