Canadian Naturist Creed
I BELIEVE:
In naturism as a way of life founded on mutual respect;
In values of freedom, acceptance, and equality;
That being nude is not disorderly, offensive or obscene,
But simply a natural, authentic way of being,
And a peaceful form of individual expression;
That decency is measured by a person’s conduct and not their attire;
That these convictions, along with others who share them,
Are a fundamental right under the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms,
And deserve to be recognized as a genuine part of our Canadian heritage.

The creed was written by Dan Bissonnette and ratified by the membership at the Annual General Meeting in August of 2024.
