Ian Bushfield advocates for Humanism, science and social justice in Metro Vancouver. He is the Executive Director of the BC Humanist Association. He co-hosts the PolitiCoast and Cambie Report podcasts covering BC and Vancouver politics. He earned a BSc in Engineering Physics from the University of Alberta, a MSc in Physics from Simon Fraser University and completed a BCIT certificate in non-profit management.

He was one of the founders of the UofA Atheists and Agnostics in 2007 and led the group until graduating in 2009. In 2008 the group successfully challenged the University’s 100-year-old convocation charge, which previously called on graduates to use their degrees “for the glory of God.” From 2013 to 2015 he lived in the UK, first in Leeds then London where he worked on science advocacy and transparency campaigns at Sense About Science.

Today, he lives in Coquitlam with his partner and two kids.
