The Flat Earth Society of Canada

The Flat Earth Society of Canada (FESC) was formed in Fredericton, NB in 1970 by co-founders, Leo Ferrari, Alden Nowlan, and Ray Fraser. At the time of its origin the founders were responding to what they saw as a prevailing problem of the new technological age – the willingness of people to accept theories “on blind faith and to reject the evidence of their own senses.” The original FESC recruited many members and was active throughout the seventies; but by the late 70s and early 80s the busy founders were having to focus more on their academic and writing commitments and thus the society went by the wayside until Iris Taylor reinstated the Society during the first of her recruitment lectures which was held in Lethbridge, AB in 2003.
