What is Humanist Canada?

Humanist Canada (formerly, the Humanist Association of Canada) is a national not-for-profit charitable organization that promotes ethics, rationality, critical thinking, dignity, and equality. Founded in Montreal in 1968 as a small, but active lobby group of Humanists, Humanist Canada has since grown in scope and membership and includes affiliates across the country. We are 100% Canadian.
