Social Justice
I am the president of the Centre for Inquiry Canada. CFIC works with members, volunteers, supporters and partners to create a better world. We do this through the application of critical thinking skills; promotion of good science; adoption of secular decision making and through building communities of like-minded people.
I have also been president of the John Howard Society of Toronto helping all people who have been in conflict with the law through service, education and community programs.
