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.)

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.

Sunday July 20:
7 pm Central Time
(5pm Pacific, 6pm Mountain, 8pm Eastern, 9pm Atlantic, 9:30pm Newfoundland)How much energy do we consume globally today? What are the primary sources of energy? Are we using too much energy? Can we migrate to primarily low emissions sources of energy? Which are the primary low emissions sources of energy and how do they compare to high emissions sources? Which electricity grids have met the Paris climate target (less than 100 grams of CO2 emitted per kilowatt-hour, averaged on an annual basis) and how did they do it? What are some misunderstandings of existing energy sources?
All of these topics and more will be discussed; “deep dives” of specific topics will also be included.

Todd De Ryck has been an advocate for nuclear energy since 2012. After completing courses on the subject of nuclear power, supplemented by reading books and blog posts, viewing documentaries, attending a Small Modular Nuclear Reactor conference, and email communications with nuclear energy experts, he became convinced that nuclear energy must play a major role in permanently displacing fossil fuel production all over the world. Since retiring in 2024 Todd has increased his nuclear energy activism and advocacy, including contributing to print and online publications, as well as presenting talks.
