FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Last evening (Wed., March 1st), Toronto City Council voted to extend the clothing-optional beach pilot project at Hanlan's Point for another two years. (as recommended on Feb. 14/00 by the Economic Development Committee) Council also voted in favour of an amendment moved by Councillor Kyle Rae, with the effect that the clothing-optional zone is now about 30% larger, with the northern boundary being moved 120 metres north to the lifeguard tower.

The beach project has been dubbed a success. During peak times, up to 400 people would be on the clothing-optional section and only 40 people in the 'textile' section next to it. This contrasts sharply with extremely sparse use of that beach in past years.

The popularity of the Hanlan's Point clothing-optional beach is reflected in ferry use. While overall ferry traffic to the islands were down 1.9%, the traffic on the Hanlan's Point ferry was up by 11.2%.

Contrary to what has been suggested, the beach is open to all users whether they want to be nude or not. Those beach users will now have lifeguard protection when they go in the water in the clothing-optional zone.

As defined by the International Naturist Federation, Naturism is a way of life in harmony with nature, characterized by the practice of communal nudity, with the intention of encouraging respect for oneself, respect for others and for the environment.

The Federation of Canadian Naturists (FCN), with La Fédération Québécoise de Naturisme (FQN) constitute the national nudist organization in Canada. Internationally recognized by affiliation to the International Naturist Federation (INF), we strive to:

* promote naturism/nudism to Canadians
* help naturists and nudist find how and where they can enjoy the naturist/nudist life
* represent the interests of Canadian naturist/nudist individuals, families, clubs, resorts, and organizations.

The International Naturist Federation (INF) represents naturists in over 30 countries. Founded in August 1953 at the Montalivet naturist resort in France and based in Belgium, it is dedicated to the world-wide acceptance of naturist ideals and lifestyle-recreational social nudism.
