Once again, we will be marching in the parade and have a booth afterwards. The festivities are on and around Whyte Ave this year, not downtown like previous years.
We are looking for volunteers to help with the parade and the booth. SIGN UP TO HELP WITH THE BOOTH.

Recently the debate over the Lord’s Prayer in Taber schools has been heating up again, and a lady named Glenda was interviewed for the Lethbridge Herald. We would like to make it abundantly clear that the Society of Edmonton Atheists is neither pursuing legal action nor are we directly involved with the Dr Hammans equality group as the article leads readers to believe. While a great many of our members support the removal of religion from the school system in Alberta, this is not something that the SEA is directly advocating at present.
If you have any further questions regarding our stance on this issue you can contact us at info@edmontonatheists.ca
