Welcome to the Federation of Canadian Naturists

Family Sitting at Lake

This is the Official Site of the Federation of Canadian Naturists.

Naturism—the practice of nudity—promotes wholesomeness and stability of the human body, mind, and spirit.

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.

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.

The Right to be Publicly Naked: A Defence of Nudism

Peer Reviewed Article. A bit lengthy but worth the read.


Many liberal democracies have legal restrictions on nudism. This article argues that when public nudity does not pose a health threat (which it seldom does), such restrictions are unjust. To vindicate this claim, I start by showing that there are two weighty interests served by the freedom to be naked in public.
