SUMMARY:Fair Taxes – Fair Future: Rethinking Property Taxes for Religious
 ly Owned Properties
DESCRIPTION:The Kelowna Atheists\, Skeptics\, Humanists Association (KASHA)
  and Advocacy Canada are challenging the blanket permissive property tax e
 xemptions granted to religious organizations that own public worship build
 ings\, event halls\, and surrounding lands. This July\, religious organiza
 tions in Kelowna will reapply for lucrative five-year tax breaks under Kel
 owna’s Permissive Tax Exemption Policy 327\, allowing them to avoid payi
 ng property taxes on multi-million-dollar properties.\nVisit our informati
 on page before the event - askuskelowna.ca/pte\nKASHA and Advocacy Canada 
 question the automatic approval of these tax exemptions and argue that rel
 igious organizations should demonstrate clear public benefit—not operate
  as taxpayer-subsidized private clubs. The city is not required to exempt 
 entire properties surrounding worship buildings\, yet this historical priv
 ilege remains largely unchallenged.\nKelowna residents are invited to lear
 n\, ask questions\, and take action to ensure taxpayer dollars are used fa
 irly and equitably.\nThe presentation will include:\nTopics include:\nHow 
 religious organizations receive tax exemptions.\nHow Kelowna’s tax polic
 y subsidizes exclusionary practices.\nProposed reforms for greater account
 ability\, equity\, and public benefit.\nFor more information and petition:

SUMMARY:ONLINE - Fair Taxes – Fair Future: Rethinking Property Taxes for 
 Religiously Owned Properties
DESCRIPTION:This is an online event - please book your ticket and you will 
 receive a link closer to 7:00pm.\nThe Kelowna Atheists\, Skeptics\, Humani
 sts Association (KASHA) and Advocacy Canada are challenging the blanket pe
 rmissive property tax exemptions granted to religious organizations that o
 wn public worship buildings\, event halls\, and surrounding lands. This Ju
 ly\, religious organizations in Kelowna will reapply for lucrative five-ye
 ar tax breaks under Kelowna’s Permissive Tax Exemption Policy 327\, allo
 wing them to avoid paying property taxes on multi-million-dollar propertie
 s.\nKASHA and Advocacy Canada question the automatic approval of these tax
  exemptions and argue that religious organizations should demonstrate clea
 r public benefit—not operate as taxpayer-subsidized private clubs. The c
 ity is not required to exempt entire properties surrounding worship buildi
 ngs\, yet this historical privilege remains largely unchallenged.\nKelowna
  residents are invited to learn\, ask questions\, and take action to ensur
 e taxpayer dollars are used fairly and equitably.\nThis online presentatio
 n will include:\nHow religious organizations receive tax exemptions\nHow K
 elowna’s tax policy subsidizes exclusionary practices\nProposed reforms 
 for greater accountability\, equity\, and public benefit\nFor more informa
 tion and petition:\naskuskelowna.ca/pte\n(Data sources: 2020 public worshi

SUMMARY:Pub Trivia Night - 4th Monday at Creekside Pub
DESCRIPTION:KASHA is trying something new for Trivia Night.  It's a new lo
 cation with an old game. Our quiz master and host\, Joyce\, will be dustin
 g off the original Trivia Pursuit game to test our knowledge.\n\nStep righ
 t up and grab a drink or a meal\, pull up a chair\, and take your chances 
 with a fun group of skeptics\, atheists\, and freethinkers! It's never the
  same twice but it's always a blast. Whether we’re cracking trivia quest
 ions or cracking each other up\, you’re in for stimulating debates\, lau
 ghs\, and the occasional (surprising) win. Pub trivia may be a gamble but 
 we always play for fun!\nJoin us for Trivial Pursuit Night on Creekside Pu
 b's patio!  Look for the table with the KASHA sign or ask a staff member
  where the KASHA table is located.
