FCN Important News


ATTENTION!

The FCN and FQN have been advised by the MRC des Collines Police and the National Capital Commission (NCC), that they will charge anyone found to be nude at MEECH LAKE (Gatineau Park, Hull) and  THE CARBIDE-WILLSON MILL and FALLS (Gatineau Park, Hull).  Those charged, risk arrest and if found guilty, will have a criminal record.  Swim and Sunbathe in the nude at your own risk. The MRC and the NCC plan to increase undercover sting operations and  arrests at both locations Summer 2012 under Section 174-(1-a) of the Criminal Code of Canada: "Nudity in public is prohibited".

This notice remains in effect while the matter is before the courts and unless and until nude permits are issued by NCC in the future.

This is the official site of the Federation of Canadian Naturists. It contains
extensive information on naturist living and philosophy.

Naturism involves the practice of complete nudity in a communal setting. It promotes wholesomeness and stability of the human body, mind, and spirit, especially through contact of the body with the natural elements.

Naturism is founded on family participation. Children in naturist families learn to appreciate the body as part of their natural environment. They grow up with healthful attitudes and accept the physical nature of both sexes and all ages without fear or shame.

This site illustrates naturism's humane and healthy joy and freedom.

The Federation of Canadian Naturists (FCN) and the Fédération québécoise de naturisme (FQN) constitute together the national naturist organization in Canada. We strive to:
  • Promote naturism to Canadians
  • Help naturists find out how and where they may enjoy the naturist life
  • Represent the interests of Canadian naturist individuals, families, clubs, resorts, and organizations.
