Description:

NIFTY Naked Iconoclasts Fighting The Yoke (NIFTY) is an organization of people who oppose the legal ban on public nudity in Canada, and who are interested in organizing politically towards the abolishment of that ban. NIFTY is an organization of people who oppose the legal ban on public nudity in Canada, and who are interested in organizing politically towards the abolishment of that ban.NIFTY is first and foremost an activist political entity. Although organizing and engaging in social and recreational activities is necessarily part of our function, our primary focus must always remain on political organization towards full clothing-optional rights in all public spaces in Canada.While many NIFTY members are nudists and naturists, we are neither a nudist nor a naturist group. Membership is open to any person who supports our vision of Canada and a world free of legislated clothing requirements.NIFTY recognises the fundamental decency, beauty, and non-obscenity of the natural human body. Further, NIFTY affirms the spiritual, psychological and physical health benefits of nudity and body acceptance for the individual and for society. A major part of our mandate is to educate the public about these benefits, and about the harmful effects of our cultures censure of natural nudity. NIFTY is an egalitarian group which always promotes equality of all humans, without regard to sex, race, colour, creed, age, national origin, sexual orientation or any other attribute.NIFTY shall be and remain a community group with no corporate ties. NIFTY shall never entertain corporate sponsorships or partnerships of any form. This principle shall firmly guide all NIFTY actions and activities. (Anonymous donations, whether from corporate or noncorporate entities, shall not be precluded by this section.) NIFTY Bylaws, p.7 All decisions at NIFTY meetings shall be made by consensus if possible. In the event that consensus cannot he achieved after reasonable attempts, a vote shall take place, with majority rule carrying. NIFTY Constutution, p.1 NIFTY is an organization of  people who oppose the legal ban on public nudity in Canada, and who are interested in  organizing politically towards the abolishment of that ban.(NIFTY Constutution, Paragraph 1) Tips for organising clothes-optional swims Tips for organising clothes-optional swimsBy Greg DePaco, NIFTY secretaryIf the NIFTY swims are too infrequent for you or if you live too far away from Templeton Pool to participate as often as you d like you may have thought about starting a clothing-optional swim of your own at a local pool. We here at NIFTY strongly encourage you to do so, and would like to help if we can! Here are some suggestions if you take the plunge:1. Contact the pool and make an appointment with the programmer to discuss rentals. (This is their title in Vancouver Park Board sites, it may be different in your area.) Arrange an in-person appointment. There s no need to mention at this point that you intend to have a clothing-optional event, but if they ask you if this is the case you should certainly (of course) say so, just as you would answer any initial questions they might have about your rental.2. You will likely have to buy insurance. In BC, you should contact Sport BC insurance to discuss rates and terms. This would be a good thing to have looked into before your meeting with the pool programmer. If you know another group that rents the same pool, they might be willing to share their policy with you. Talk to them and to Sport BC.3. It s best to bring two people to your meeting with the pool programmer, a male and a female. (Sex shouldn t matter, of course, but given societal stereotypes about people who like to do things naked, it helps to present your group as one whose membership represents a wider cross-section of your community.) Sorry (but needless) to say, you should really wear clothes for the meeting.4. Use your judgment as the meeting unfolds, but you should probably explain your intention to have clothing-optional events early on during the meeting, as one of the parameters of your rentals. Most programmers will probably be at least willing to consider the idea, though they may say they have to check with their superiors first. At this point, be sure to mention all the other groups (like NIFTY) that have sucessfully run clothing-optional swims and events for years without any significant problems and with wide community support. Offer to meet with their superiors yourselves if needed.5. If the meeting ends without a firm yes or no, give them a week or so to get back to you before calling to follow up. If you do so, start the call by thanking them for having met with you to consider renting their facility to your group. (Also do this when they call with their answer, if they do.)If you need any help with the process, just call us here at NIFTY we ll do what we can. Good Luck! And let us know about the responses you get. NIFTY Bylaws, p.11 No individual members may use cameras at NIFTY events. NIFTY may authorise camera(s) to photograph special events; in that case “no photo” wristbands and/or designated photography areas will be established, depending on the event. All participants shall be privately made aware of photography and release options at the entrance to the event. NIFTY Bylaws, p.10 Notwithstanding (7) above, to amend the NIFTY constitution, a two-thirds majority vote at a legitimate NIFTY meeting shall he required. Notwithstanding (7) above, to amend these bylaws, a simple majority vote at a legitimate NIFTY meeting shall be required. TOPFREE IS LEGAL IN B.C for both sexes! Established by BC Supreme Court, 2000 June 8(Citation: Maple Ridge v. Meyer, 2000 BCSC 902) We had a legal opinion and its very clear she is correct. It is not a crime. Terry La Liberte, Vancouver Police Board Deputy [Vancouver Police] Chief Doug LePard said he would notify the training session of the department to issue a bulletin for police officers.

In 1043 Leofric founded and endowed a Benedictine monastery at Coventry. People of Coventry were suffering under her husband s oppressive taxation. Lady Godiva asked her husband to remit the tolls. Leofric said he would grant her request if she would strip naked and ride through the streets of the town. Lady Godiva took him at his word and, after issuing a proclamation that all persons should stay indoors and shut their windows, she rode through the town, clothed only in her long hair. Just one person in the town, a tailor ever afterwards known as Peeping Tom, disobeyed her proclamation in one of the most famous instances of voyeurism. In the story, Tom bores a hole in his shutters so that he might see Godiva pass, and is struck blind. In the end, Godiva s husband keeps his word and abolishes the onerous taxes.Please make sure you confirm your subscription!Unconfirmed subscriptions will be removed.Our Polls Please rate our web site: Excellent Good Average Poor View Results Disclaimer Disclaimer: All trademarks and registered trademarks are the property of their respective owners.
