Who We Are
We stand for human rights and a secular society. We’re a welcoming community of humanists, atheists, agnostics, skeptics, and non-believers across the greater Ottawa area who share a commitment to reason, science, and critical thinking with compassion and empathy. Together, we work to build a more compassionate society—one conversation, one connection, one marriage, and one action at a time. Join us and be part of the journey forward.
