I just thought I’d share some upcoming activities the heretics of BC may wish to partake in:

  • Tomorrow the UBC Freethinkers are holding another instalment of their Breakfast of Champions series at the King’s Head Pub in Kitsilano (Vancouver) at 10am.
  • Friday, August 13 at 7 PM CFI Vancouver is hosting Dr. Chris diCarlo for a lecture entitled “We are all African.”
  • Saturday, August 14 at 1 PM will be the first edition of the Freethinkers Book Club, hosted by my partner and me, at The Grind Cafe in Vancouver. This month’s book is Ayaan Hirsi Ali’s Infidel (next month is The Physics of Star Trek by Lawrence Krauss).
  • I’ve heard rumours (but nothing confirmed) that CFI Okanagan (one of the newest centres) will be participating in Okanagan Pride this weekend.
  • Sunday is Humanist breakfast time and the Victoria Secular Humanists will be meeting (as usual) starting at 8-8:30 am (that’s right) at the Cedar Hill Golf Course in Saanich. The BC Humanists get to sleep in a bit more and meet at 9:30 am at the Oakridge Seniors Centre in Vancouver.
  • On Tuesday, August 17 I’m hosting a planning meeting for a potential Vancouver Secular Party or lobby group at 6 PM at The Railway Club downtown.
  • Just after that meeting will be a Vancouver Skeptics in the Pub, co-hosted by Cafe Scientifique. The talk starts at 7:30 PM and will be followed by discussion and drinks.
  • Finally, there’s a CFI Cafe Inquiry planned for August 21 at SFU Harbour Centre room 1600 at 1 PM.

I hope to see some readers out to some of these events and stay tuned for more, Tarek Fatah, Harriet Hall, and Greta Christina are all confirmed to come to Vancouver in the next few months and there will be plenty to do.
