Meetings in 2021

Our meetings are held on the first Tuesday of the month at 7 pm.

The next meetings will be February 2, March 2, April 6, May 4 and June 1.

Usually we start our meetings with a discussion of human rights-related current events. We sometimes have a human-rights related video, and a speaker when possible.

If you would like to join us via Zoom at our next meeting, please send a message to ai164toronto@gmail.com

Meetings in 2020

Update:  Because of the COVID pandemic, our last in person meeting was on March 3.  Since then we have been meeting via Zoom.

Our next meetings in the first half of 2020 will be held on February 4, March 3, April 7, May 5, and June 2 (first Tuesday of the month) at 7:00 pm.

Usually we start our meetings with a discussion of human rights-related current events.  This is something fairly new for us, and we have all found it stimulating.  Occasionally we have a speaker.  We then have a business meeting, followed by writing letters on an urgent action case brought by one of our members.  

You'll find us in the annex of St. Barnabas Anglican Church, Danforth (at Chester).
Enter through the gate at 171 Hampton Street along the west side of the church, the first gate past the playground. If no one's at the door to let you in, please knock.

We always welcome new members!
