'Humanism in Action'
To be held in person in Waterloo, Ontario.
Join us on Saturday, November 16, 2024, beginning at 8:30AM, for our Humanism in Action conference, a historical gathering of passionate secular activists from across southern Ontario. This event is an inspirational experience, where ideas, dreams, hopes, and practical strategies come together to bolster advocacy efforts. Unlike other secular conferences in Canada, this milestone event offers a distinctly Canadian perspective on Humanist values and their impact on shaping a better future for us all.
CONFERENCE HIGHLIGHTS
Stellar Roster of Canadian Humanist Speakers
Featuring Humanist voices from across the province, our experienced speakers are eager to inspire and empower attendees with the ideas that fuel their work.
Insightful Presentations
Dynamic speakers will explore topics that matter most to Canadians, offering fresh insights and feasible solutions to the challenges we face.
Interactive and Engaging Discussions
Engage in conversations designed to spark collaboration, ignite new ideas, and foster teamwork. Together, we can explore how to advance secularism, human rights, and social justice in our communities.
Networking Opportunities
Build meaningful connections with like-minded individuals and organizations who share your vision for a more ethical, equitable, and caring Canadian society.
Following the presentations, join us for a moderated panel discussion where your questions, ideas, and insights will take centre stage in a vibrant and collaborative exchange with the speakers.
PLUS… Enjoy delicious meals and refreshments throughout the day to keep you revitalized. Continental breakfast and buffet lunch with vegetarian and non-vegetarian food items will be provided.
This conference is much more than just a friendly Humanist gathering—it is a catalyst for action and an opportunity to be part of something transformative and truly worthwhile. Together with Secular Connexion Séculière, the Society of Freethinkers, and Humanist Canada, we can ignite the enthusiasm and collaboration needed to realize the vision of a more ethical, equitable, healthy, and caring Canada.
