Tell us how you plan to watch the solar eclipse

Monday's total solar eclipse will be a once-in-a-lifetime event for many in the Hamilton and Niagara regions, where the totality will be seen anywhere from around two to three minutes during theafternoon.

While there are safety considerations, with the many events planned around the region, thousands are expected out in public spaces to watch the skies change before them.

Do you have something special planned? A small gathering with friends in a local park? Marking the day with a loved one? Is the day particularly meaningful to you for personal reasons?

Share your plans in the questionnaire below.Please also consider sharing any photos from the day by emailing hamilton@cbc.ca.

At CBC Hamilton, our team will be out across Hamilton, including at McMaster University, Bayfront Park and Tim Hortons Field, and we'll besharingstories from across the region with the rest of the community right here on cbc.ca/hamilton.
