Help CFIC improve Critical Thinking in Canada

Save the Date: World Humanist Congress (August 7 to 9, 2026) moved to Ottawa: Humanist Canada, in partnership with Humanists International, will co-host this event. Originally planned for Washington, D.C., the conference has been relocated to Canada in response to the increasingly hostile political and human rights climate in the United States.
