Zoom (register at the link)Live Discussion: Putting a number what religion costs Canada
Join us on Tuesday, March 19 at 4 PM PT (7 PM ET) for an online roundtable discussion about the cost of religion in Canada - quantified by original research conducted by the Centre for Inquiry Canada and BC Humanist Association.
Bettianne Hedges of Humanist Canada will be hosting Leslie Rosenblood from CFIC alongside Teale Phelps Bondaroff and Ian Bushfield of the BC Humanist Association, who will discuss the many ways Canada still tangibly privileges religion and its institutions over similar non-theistic organizations. Just a few policy choices cost Canadians billions - yes, with a "b" - each and every year.
