In spite of the strife within the national leadership, local branches of CFI Canada are still pushing forward and putting on events.
CFI Montreal was featured in the Montreal Gazette yesterday in an article that talks about their bookclub and what they’ve been up to.
The truth is out there. It just might not be found at a church, near a crop circle, or in a dated X-Files reference. According to Jen Carmen, a good place to start is the Montreal Freethinkers Book Club. A discussion group associated with the local chapter of Centre for Inquiry Canada – an organization dedicated to promoting secularism, science, and critical thinking – the Club is ideal for those who, Car-men says, are "open minded, open to discussion, open to learning new things."

The article makes the common mistake that CFI Canada ran the “There’s Probably No Bus Ads”. They’ve run the ad in Kelowna, but otherwise the Freethought Association of Canada was responsible for those ads.
Otherwise, it’s a good article and links to their book club’s meetup group: meetup.com/cfimontreal/
