What we’re about
## Welcome to CFIC Vancouver
Where reason, science, and secularism meet community.
In a world flooded with misinformation, conspiracy theories, and ideological echo chambers, we believe that critical thinking is a radical act. The Centre for Inquiry Canada – Vancouver Branch is a hub for people who ask questions, demand evidence, and aren’t afraid to challenge popular narratives — including our own.
We’re here for skeptics and scientists, atheists and humanists, freethinkers and curious minds of all stripes. If you’ve ever felt like the only one in the room questioning pseudoscience, religious dogma, or political spin — you’ve just found your people.
### What We Do:
- Host thought-provoking events, from expert talks to idea salons
- Run community discussions on science, ethics, secularism, and social issues
- Connect with national CFIC initiatives and collaborate with other chapters
- Create a safe, inclusive space for open dialogue — no supernatural beliefs required
Whether you’re passionate about scientific literacy, secular advocacy, or just love a good debate over coffee (or beer), CFIC Vancouver is your space to think out loud — and think better together.

See all- After Dark: Actually, It Is Rocket ScienceNeeds location
## Blast Off Into an Adults-Only Space Night
[partner event with Science World, SETI, and local AFOLs]
Grab a drink and explore the final frontier of space — LEGO® style. Suit up for selfies in a LEGO astronaut suit, see rare space artifacts and Apollo-era Hasselbad cameras, and perhaps meet some fictional space-faring villains.
Check out our intergalactic galleries, create glow-in-the-dark stars, and dive into real-world challenges like designing lunar rovers and space habitats. Along the way, hear space professionals separate science fact from sci-fi fiction — the truth isn’t out there, it’s here under the Dome!
Actually, It Is Rocket Science will be a night of cosmic fun, hands-on discover, and no kids in orbit. Don’t space out… get your ticket today!More information

Are you Skeptical about unusual claims like Sasquatches, Alien Abduction, Faith Healing, a 6000-year-old Earth, Telepathic Powers, Homeopathy, etc? If yes and you live out in the Fraser Valley (Metro Vancouver), then we invite you to join the Surrey/Langley Skeptics in the Pub Group. And yes, if you live anywhere else in Metro Van are more than welcome as well. We currently hold (sometimes loud) monthly meetings once a month in Surrey. It's a simple get-together of like-minded people to discuss nature, science, and the unusual. All skeptic topics are open for discussion. We welcome all real people to the group. But note, if you've got some far-out ideas, be prepared for a (respectful) challenge or two.
We meet the first Sunday of every month @ 5pm, at Dominion Bar & Kitchen 13475 Central Ave in Surrey. Underground paid parking ($3 for the evening) is available in the City Hall P1 level or try your luck on the street/City Centre. You can sign up to attend here on Meetup.com.
