BAHACon2026 – Where Big Ideas Meet Blue Water
(Scroll down for full schedule)
BAHA (Bluewater Atheists, Humanists & Agnostics) is a Canadian non-profit organization dedicated to promoting reason, compassion, and secular humanist values — while giving back to our local communities. All conference profits are donated to local charities.
BAHACon2026 brings together freethinkers from across Canada and the U.S. for a dynamic weekend of thought-provoking presentations, meaningful conversation, and genuine connection. With 12 respected and engaging speakers, this is a conference experience you won’t want to miss.
We are proud to host BAHACon2026 at the beautiful Four Points by Sheraton Point Edward Sarnia, located steps from the iconic Blue Water Bridge where Lake Huron meets the St. Clair River. The area is known for its clear blue waters, sandy beaches, waterfront trails, boutique shops, restaurants, and vibrant summer atmosphere.
