SUMMER SOLSTICE LETTER (2026)

https://centreforinquiry.ca/summer-solstice-letter-2026/

Rise and shine, critical thinkers! ☀️ Happy Summer Solstice! On the longest day of the year and the first of summer, we hope that your day is filled with warmth and light. Not only is today the Summer Solstice; it is also World Humanist Day, a great moment to pause and reflect on what the Centre for Inquiry Canada (CFIC) has recently accomplished for humanism.

CFIC advocates for critical thinking, secularism, and science. None of this is possible without your support.

• CFIC has joined with BC Humanist Association and Humanist Canada to encourage the government to uphold religious neutrality and protect the MAiD policy.
• Members of CFIC and Humanist Ottawa participated in the counter-protest during the annual National March for Life on Parliament Hill, advocating that reproductive rights are healthcare, which is a human right.
• CFIC encourages Canadians to report “no religion” on the 2026 census to encourage fairer public policies on funding, education, and healthcare.
• CFIC provides a diverse offering of programs — Living Without Religion, Skeptics in the Pub, Secular Community Network / Secular Chat, Non-Fiction Book Club, Town Hall Meetings, CFIC Toronto Hangouts, and many webinars and discussions with experts and guest speakers — to keep our community active and free of religious obligations and entanglements.

This is thanks to the hard work and dedication of our members and volunteers. CFIC will continue promoting inquiry. It is our mission to spread the light of critical thinking and evidence-based public policy.

If you haven’t yet joined us as a CFIC member, donor, or volunteer, we warmly invite you to get involved. Help us expand our impact. Every hour and every dollar matters to us more than you know.

Thank you for helping us shine.

Sincerely,

Edan Tasca
President, Centre for Inquiry Canada

SELECT NO RELIGION: https://centreforinquiry.ca/select-no-religion-2026/

Once again! If you are not religious, select “no religion” on your 2026 census.

In 2021, we brought you a Critical Links article on the challenge of Canada’s census question on religion, and we are back to remind you of it. The census question essentially asks about your parents’ religion. A group of humanist and secular organizations are working to change this question, which has historically been asked every 10 years. We hope that by 2031, we will have a new question that asks about a person’s current religious identification. However, it came as a surprise to learn that this question will show up again in 2026.

What’s the issue? The language in question is:

What is this person’s religion?
---
Indicate a specific denomination or religion, even if this person is not currently a practising member of that group.

For example, Roman Catholic, United Church, Anglican, Muslim, Baptist, Hindu, Pentecostal, Lutheran, Presbyterian, Sikh, Buddhist, Jewish, Greek Orthodox, etc.

For additional examples of denominations and religions, visit www12.statcan.gc.ca/religion-e.

Specify one denomination or religion only
or
No religion
---
We encourage people who are not religious to select “no religion.” Furthermore, we encourage people to discuss this question with others.

Discussion point: Government, politicians and businesses all use responses to this question to set direction. If the number of religious people is exaggerated because of the language used in this question, decisions will continue to be made that favour religiosity. Decisions such as maintaining religious educational institutions, allowing religious healthcare facilities to set policies and programming based on religious tenets and saying prayers before public meetings.
