What we’re about
This is the virtual branch of CFIC, providing access to events and activities for those who do not have access to a physical branch, or are otherwise unable to attend meetings. (Which currently includes everyone during the physical distancing restrictions put in place due to the Covid-19 pandemic.)

Are There Limits To Free Inquiry? Where Do Values And Ethics Come From? Does Science Have All The Answers? Should Multicultural Rights Trump Universal Human Rights? You’ve Got Answers? We’ve Got Questions.
Centre for Inquiry Canada is the largest Freethought, Skeptic and Scientific Advocacy group in Canada. We operate through 10 branches across the Country and incorporate the tireless efforts of hundreds of volunteers in our daily mission to advance knowledge and education in all areas of human endeavor. - See more at: http://centreforinquiry.ca/about-us/

CFI Canada runs open and friendly events and discussions. Please help us to keep it that way!
In order to ensure that that anyone attending our events and/or discussions is able to participate fully, we are committed to providing a safe and hospitable environment for everyone, regardless of physical appearance, disability, body size, race, gender, gender identity, sexual orientation, or religion. We do not tolerate harassment of participants in any form. If you are being harassed, notice that someone else is being harassed, or have any other concerns, please contact an organizer and we will work with you to resolve the issue.
While we accept that people do have differences of opinion, we expect discussions to be calm, reasonable, and without personal attacks.
The organizers reserve the right to remove anyone from an event if we deem their actions to be disruptive to the event and/or its participants.

https://us02web.zoom.us/meeting/register/seB7WFyFRsW0E-vp3ma2cwGeoff Russell helps us to understand animals, food, energy, and climate using mathematics, evidence, and rational thinking. Find out what Geoff has learned about duck hunting at this free webinar.
Geoff Russell has qualifications in mathematics and has written software all of his working life, but in the past decade has devoted increasing time to writing non-fiction with a simple goal... make the world a better place. A three-decade vegan and member of the Animal Justice Party, his first book in 2009 was 'CSIRO Perfidy', a critique of the high-red-meat CSIRO 'Total Wellbeing diet'; the most environmentally destructive diet on the planet. His concerns about climate change and the ineffectiveness of renewables led to a re-examination of his lifelong opposition to nuclear power. After considerable research he realised that the reasons people fear nuclear are built on obsolete knowledge about DNA and cancer. Geoff's second book 'GreenJacked! Derailing environmental action on climate change' is an e-book available on Amazon."
