"We are once again pleased to be able to host this forum for young writers interested in humanist themes," Dr. Lloyd Robertson, Vice-President of Humanist Canada, stated, "This forum promotes a defence of science and reason from those who would attack it," The full information for the essay contest can be found here: https://www.humanistcanada.ca/programs/essay-contest/.

Chair of the Humanist Canada Essay Contest Committee and Member of the Board of Directors of Humanist Canada, Scott Jacobsen, said, "This is a rare opportunity for the presentation of the best and brightest young freethought minds the country's high schools have to offer, in a formal academic-based competition with written essays. Any inculcation of values comes from the passing of them and providing a space for the next generations to evaluate, present, and live them. The Humanist Canada Essay Contest is one opportunity for young freethinkers to shine."
