This webinar is hosted by Humanist Canada

Ian Bushfield, executive director of the BC Humanist Association, joins Humanist Canada executive director Bettianne Hedges to discuss how Canada’s unique legal and political history, coupled with a forward-looking Charter of Rights and Freedoms and judiciary, have resulted in more robust protections for the nonreligious and state neutrality than presently exist in the US.

Bushfield and Hedges will walk through several of the major legal cases in Canadian religious law, from Big M Drug Mart to Saguenay and Trinity Western University.

Along the way, they’ll highlight how secular activists and humanist organizations have increasingly made their voices heard through the justice system and identify several issues on the horizon.
