Advocates for Nude Recreation

Advocates for nude and clothing-optional recreation in North America diverge significantly from the norms of traditional "naturism" and "nudism" in the same geographical region, and therefore require their own category.

Canada

Get Naked Banff^[2] - A clothing-optional advocacy group that was created to challenge Parks Canada's assertions that nude recreation of any kind is never allowed in Canada's national parks.
Calgary Nude Recreation^[3] - clothing-optional recreation group located in Calgary, Alberta, that seeks to establish nude recreation as a lawful activity by applying the existing law in new and unique ways.
