NIFTY is an egalitarian group which always promotes equality of all humans, without regard to sex, race, colour, creed, age, national origin, sexual orientation or any other attribute. A major part of our mandate is to educate the public about these benefits, and about the harmful effects of our cultures censure of natural nudity. Further, NIFTY affirms the spiritual, psychological and physical health benefits of nudity and body acceptance for the individual and for society. NIFTY recognises the fundamental decency, beauty, and non-obscenity of the natural human body. Membership is open to any person who supports our vision of Canada and a world free of legislated clothing requirements. While many NIFTY members are nudists and naturists, we are neither a nudist nor a naturist group.
Although organizing and engaging in social and recreational activities is necessarily part of our function, our primary focus must always remain on political organization towards full clothing-optional rights in all public spaces in Canada. NIFTY is first and foremost an activist political entity. NIFTY is an organization of people who oppose the legal ban on public nudity in Canada, and who are interested in organizing politically towards the abolishment of that ban.
