    Are you a visible minority in Canada? Do you feel sometimes that you are racialized here in Canada?

    Have you heard of the term intersectionality? Do you know what it means? Sometimes one hears new terms but it is hard to know what it can mean for you.

    We think these can be interesting questions to discuss as being a racialized atheist/agnostic comes with questions of identity that are our own and that are imposed by others.

    Join our discussion via this group -

    Join us in an person discussion at Ben Lee Park.
    Bring a take-out dinner while we socially distance, eat dinner and discuss the term.
