I bought these ISO certified 12312-2 solar eclipse glasses from Amazon about a month ago in preparation for viewing the Aug 21st solar eclipse. It should be partially visible from Toronto. There have been such dire warnings against looking at the eclipse directly I am now scared to use these. I am thinking about making a simple pinhole projector from a cereal box. Here is a one minute video showing you how to do that.
According to this article, the eclipse will be partially visible in Toronto from 1.10 pm - 3.49 pm peaking at 2.30 pm with 70% of the sun covered.

It's wise to be safe side, eyes are so important. Hugs, Valerie
Very important to keep eyes safe!
I'm not even attempting to look at it myself, I'd rather just watch a live stream via a camera
Cereal box simple pinhole projector idea is interesting. Share your experiences post solar eclipse.
hope you can see :) :)
as long as they are certified, they should be ok. we just use a welding mask since hubby has a few of them :)
Seems like they've sold out almost everywhere - glad you got yours ahead of time. Have fun viewing safely whichever way you choose.
I spent most of yesterday calling places for some, I found some, but you were smart to do it early. I meant to, but time slipped away from me... I read if they have this ISO 12312-2 on the back they should be fine and also here are some brands: https://eclipse.aas.org/resources/solar-filters I definitely want my eyes to be safe.
So important to keep your eyes safe.
All the best Jan
As rare as the event was, Christine, I decided not to put it to the test and stayed indoors and watched on TV. I already have macular degeneration in one eye. I didn't want to risk my sight in the other eye.
