Ian Bushfield - Humanism in Canada

Today’s show is all about Humanism! Here is the definition of Humanism, from Humanist Canada:

Humanism is a progressive philosophy of life based on a profound respect for human dignity and the conviction that human beings are ultimately accountable to themselves and to society for their actions. It is a secular worldview that affirms our ability and responsibility to lead ethical and meaningful lives.

I’m delighted to welcome Ian Bushfield as my guest today. Ian has been involved in the BC Humanist Association since 2009 - and aside from a brief stint in the UK - he has been the Executive Director of BCHA since 2012. Ian has a background in physics and non-profit management and grew up in Alberta. In 2017, he also joined the BC Civil Liberties Association's Board of Directors.
