Feel free to bring suggestions for topics – the group will vote on which topics will be discussed.

If you wish to attend, please RSVP in advance.

Note that we have changed the access method to remove the waiting room, so a password is now required to join the meeting. If you RSVP, the Zoom link (including password) will be provided to you. For the transition period, I will also make it available here:

12:00 pm: Living Without Religon – Hosted by Virtual Branch

12:00 pm – 1:30 pm
May 3, 2026

Living Without Religon – Hosted by Virtual Branch

Living without Religion (LWR) is a monthly peer support group for those who have left their religion, are considering leaving their religion, and/or are encountering challenges with friends, family, classmates or co-workers due to religious differences.

If you're already comfortable leading a secular lifestyle, you can also come to offer emotional support or advice, or just to enjoy a sense of social community that religions often offer.

Moderated by volunteers from the Virtual and Ottawa Branch of Centre for Inquiry Canada (CFIC), LWR meets on the first Sunday of every month from 12:00 pm to 1:30 pm EST.

To join, log into Zoom:

5:00 pm: Surrey/Langley Skeptics in the Pub Group Meetup

5:00 pm – 8:00 pm
May 3, 2026

Surrey/Langley Skeptics in the Pub Group Meetup

Are you Skeptical about unusual claims like Sasquatches, Alien Abduction, Faith Healing, a 6000-year-old Earth, Telepathic Powers, Homeopathy, etc?

If so, and you live in the Vancouver area or the Fraser Valley, then we invite you to join the Surrey/Langley Skeptics in the Pub Group. We currently hold (and sometimes loud) monthly meetings in Surrey and welcome everyone within Metro Vancouver and those from down south, such as in Bellingham, WA, to get involved.

It's a simple get-together of like-minded people to discuss nature, science, and the unusual. All skeptic topics are open for discussion. We welcome all real people to the group. But note, if you've got some far-out ideas, be prepared for a (respectful) challenge or two.

Meet with us on the first Sunday of every month at 5 pm at Dominion Bar & Kitchen, 13475 Central Ave, in Surrey. Underground paid parking ($3 for the evening) is available on the P1 level of City Hall, or try your luck on the street.

8:00 pm: A Discussion About Food Security, Food Waste and New Solutions in Manitoba with Ted Dzogan

8:00 pm

A Discussion About Food Security, Food Waste and New Solutions in Manitoba with Ted Dzogan

At Food Rescue Grocery Store, we think good food should stay out of the landfill. So we’re bringing a new-to-Brandon approach to food security: providing rescued food at a low price for all.

The Food Rescue Grocery Store was established in Brandon, MB, in 2021 as a community response to food waste, community building, food accessibility, and equitable societal participation. We promote and advocate the human right to food, obtained with dignity, respect, and participation; promoting local solutions for food security; reducing food waste; and supporting community growth and integration.
