NIFTY Constitution, p.3
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 Constitution, Paragraph 3)
Rapid Quiz Question: Nudism is good for children. Correct or incorrect?
Answer=”Correct”
Nudism welcomes children and actually encourages families with young children to bring their kids. Children are the most enthusiastic nudists because they have not yet learned to feel shame about their own or others’ bodies, or to equate nudity with sex. Nudists are always on the lookout for the safety of children.
William-Adolphe Bouguereau (gallery)
William-AdolpheBouguereau (November 30, 1825 – August 19, 1905) was a French academic painter and traditionalist. In his realistic genre paintings he used mythological themes, making modern interpretations of classical subjects, with an emphasis on the female human body. During his life he enjoyed significant popularity, was given numerous official honors, and received top prices for his work. Throughout the course of his life, Bouguereau executed 822 known finished paintings, although the whereabouts of many are still unknown.

NIFTY Bylaws, p.4
All public NIFTY events shall be open to anybody without discrimination. There shall be no quotas of any kind, and people can be asked to leave or barred based solely on their own behaviour. Such behaviour must have predictable negative consequences.
NIFTY History, p.4
NIFTY has held many events over the years: topfree and clothing-optional parades and marches, topfree picnics and book readings, clothing-optional dances and movie nights, and more. We also usually host a clothing-optional picnic following the Vancouver portion of the annual World Naked Bike Ride. While these events are celebratory in nature, they also serve to educate the public about the harmful effects of suppressing the natural body, and to advocate for clothing-optional rights.

NIFTY History, p.1
Founded in 1992, NIFTY (Naked Iconoclasts Fighting The Yoke) is a group of citizens who believe that people should be allowed to decide for themselves whether to wear clothing or not in public spaces. Essentially, the group formed in opposition to section 174 of the Canadian Criminal Code, which declares public nudity a criminal offense. However, we advocate for clothing-optional rights for everyone, not just Canadians. Although many NIFTY members are naturists or nudists, NIFTY is not a naturist/nudist group; we are simply a group of citizens who believe in the right of every person to decide what, if any, clothing to wear in public spaces.
Rapid Quiz Question: Nudists are asexual people. Correct or incorrect?

She became famous in 2013 when her series of self-portraits, featuring her and her children naked, went viral in social media and the blogosphere, and subsequently censored by Facebook, with some commentators from the mainstream press comparing her compositions to neoclassical paintings, such as the “Madonna del Parto” of Piero della Francesca.
Not all the Greek runners in the original Olympics were totally naked. Some wore shoes. – Mark Twain
NIFTY History, p.5
NIFTY also maintains the NIFTY library, a collection of over 600 magazines, books and videos related to the fight for clothing-optional rights.
NIFTY History, p.6
NIFTY is proud of its twenty-plus year history of advocacy, and we intend to continue our fight until all citizens have the freedom to wear clothes if they choose, and not wear them if they choose, in public spaces around the world.

I would love to do this; the boy in me would love to be nude in winter and swim!
me to I never been in north or out( side club naturism but it must be cool
Burr !!! Nudism would be awesome butt in the cold…..I hate the cold even dressed.Yikes! Awesome how some people CAN do winter nudism though
pathetic
I swam nude in the winter in the Prairies with my Dad. It was on my Uncle’s farm and I was 16 years old!
I’ve done this.
It’s called “Snow Bathing” and is very common in countries in the former Soviet Union.
It strengthens the immune system.
OMG, they look so happy and not freeeeeeezzzzzinnng! I walk outside to the hot tub and I and my tootsies survive but I’ve never stayed out to play badminton!!
Most of pictures was taken after banja (sauna in Russian), and it is really good way to cool down.
Just so awsum to see families being a family. Not a cellphone in site. Would love to do sum snow bathing.
All I can ask is “Whhyyyyyy???” Why would anyone want to do that to themselves? Nobody loves being nude more than me but I can’t comprehend the desire to jump into ice water or the snow. I’ve been nude out in a snowfall a few times for the novelty of it, but only for a couple minutes. And I sat in the snow once, and it was painfully cold, like sitting on liquid nitrogen razor blades. Enjoying the warm summer air and lake water is infinitely more enjoyable. Of course, to each their own I always say, but I certainly can’t understand it.
BTW, are the children in any way forced into doing that, or is it completely voluntary on their parts? In one or two of the pics they look like they’re not enjoying it at all.
Now I know where the expression “freezing my tits off” comes from.
Hahaha!
I want these young children to know how lucky they are to have such a wonderful father and mother who permit them to go out in the cold winter weather in the snow and ice without wearing any clothes. These children are one in ten thousand to be permitted to be totally naked, not wearing any clothes whatsoever. Being totally naked outdoors in the cold wintery snow will help to build these children’s strength, stamina, and endurance. For how long are the children able to endure the cold wintery weather outdoors totally naked? Do the children get warmed up in a sauna? How many times in one day do the children run outdoors totally naked and for how long? Every young child would like to be able to go outside in the cold winter snow totally naked like these children. There is a treeless snow covered field surrounded by houses. I wonder what reaction this nudist family hears from the neighbors about permitting their children to run outside naked in the winter ice and snow? Are the neighbors’ comments mostly positive or negative? Every child should be permitted and encouraged to go outside in the cold winter weather completely naked, not wearing any clothing whatsoever. My praise to the father and mother for being such generous and kind parents. Thank you for sharing such wonderful photographs of your children. I would like to read the parents and children’s comments about their practice of nudism. All the children are smiling and are so happy having so much fun being naked in the winter snow. I love you all.
