A Canadian radio astronomy facility in Algonquin Provincial Park, Ontario, built around a 46-meter dish completed in 1966 that was, for a time, the largest fully steerable radio telescope in Canada. It played a pioneering role in the development of Very Long Baseline Interferometry between Canadian and American radio telescopes in the late 1960s.
