Drop in to the Philosophers' Cafe in Nanaimo, a friendly forum for reflection on deep questions and topical issues. Each café offers a speaker who delivers a ten minute talk on a provocative subject – and then the floor opens for 50 minutes of general discussion. You can join the conversation, or just sit back and listen. Have dinner. Bring a friend. By donation. No registration. Everyone welcome!

What do you think of when you think of “father”?
