I decided to start Secular Iranian Social Club becuase I would like to have social events with like minded individuals who do not have any religious affiliation/restriction and also care about human rights related issues. The purpose of this club is to create a supportive social networking group for secular Iranian women and men who are 19 and over. We go to restaurants, picnics, different events, dinner parties at each other's homes, rate food/drink and discuss current world events. We welcome …

We meet regularly to critically discuss political issues at a municipal level in Vancouver as well as provincially, nationally and internationally.  Using a reading, documentary or current event as our base for discussion, we seek to understand various viewpoints while having lively debate and conversation.

The Occupy Movement is responding to the inequity and injustice of our economic-social system that has resulted in huge wealth and power in the hands of a few individuals and corporations with the vast majority (99%) suffering more and more.

Meet others who lack true refinement, lack a regal heritage, and lack a superior attitude towards other cultures. We live in a city of vast ethnic diversity. The idea of this group is to explore that heterogeneity, find other open-minded flavour seekers and do it on a budget. There are hundreds of ethnic, family-owned restaurants, often no frills, but really authentic flavours from around the world. And there are lots of cultural events with our name on it. And of course some wine tastings! S …

… LEAP's main strategy for accomplishing these goals is to create a constantly growing speakers bureau staffed with knowledgeable and articulate former drug-warriors who describe the impact of current drug policies on: police/community relations; the safety of law enforcement officers and suspects; police corruption and misconduct; and the excessive financial and human costs associated with current drug policies.
