For nearly 30 years, the British Columbia Humanist Association has provided a community for humanists, atheists, agnostics, and other freethinkers in Vancouver and across the province.

We host regular discussions, social events, book clubs, cafes, and guest lecturers. We also put our beliefs into actions.

The mission of the BC Humanist Association is

• to promote the ideas and philosophy of secular humanism by all available means of education and communication,
• to serve the educational needs of its members and others of humanistic, scientific and naturalistic outlook, in a democratic, non-dogmatic manner free from authoritarian doctrine,
• to provide opportunities for fellowship, study and service at all levels of humanistic endeavour, and to advance the values and welfare of humanity in dedication to the continuing enhancement of human life through human effort and understanding,
• to offer and provide meaningful ceremonies to members and non-members at significant times such as marriage and death; and
• to elaborate and to express publicly Humanist positions on issues of concern to people, including values, morality and ethics.
