Rise and shine, critical thinkers! ☀️Happy Summer Solstice! On the longest day of the year and the first of summer, we hope that your day is filled with warmth and light. Not only is today the Summer Solstice; it is also World Humanist Day, a great moment to pause and reflect on what the Centre for Inquiry Canada (CFIC) has recently accomplished for humanism.
CFIC advocates for critical thinking, secularism, and science. None of this is possible without your support.
- CFIC has joined with BC Humanist Association and Humanist Canada to encourage the government to uphold religious neutrality and protect the MAiD policy.
- Members of CFIC and Humanist Ottawa participated in the counter-protest during the annual National March for Life on Parliament Hill, advocating that reproductive rights are healthcare, which is a human right.
- CFIC encourages Canadians to report “no religion” on the 2026 census to encourage fairer public policies on funding, education, and healthcare.
- CFIC provides a diverse offering of programs — Living Without Religion, Skeptics in the Pub, Secular Community Network / Secular Chat, Non-Fiction Book Club, Town Hall Meetings, CFIC Toronto Hangouts, and many webinars and discussions with experts and guest speakers — to keep our community active and free of religious obligations and entanglements.
This is thanks to the hard work and dedication of our members and volunteers. CFIC will continue promoting inquiry. It is our mission to spread the light of critical thinking and evidence-based public policy.
If you haven’t yet joined us as a CFIC member, donor, or volunteer, we warmly invite you to get involved. Help us expand our impact. Every hour and every dollar matters to us more than you know.
Thank you for helping us shine.
Sincerely,
Edan Tasca
President, Centre for Inquiry Canada
