'We're nudists, not nuts': Sask. naturalist club celebrates 50 years
CTV
A naturalist club in Saskatchewan is celebrating 50 years of offering an 'oasis' for those interested in living a nudist lifestyle.
Nudism. It's a lifestyle that evokes many questions from the general public – and Doug Schick is happy to answer them.
“We're doing nothing wrong here. All we do is if it's too hot, we don’t wear clothes. And it's just a normal thing,” he said.
Schick is the president of the Green Haven Sun Club, Saskatchewan’s only landed nudist club.
The organization stylizes itself as an “Oasis on the Prairies” and that’s exactly how Schick came to know of it.
“I did know a person who was a member of Green Haven, and I worked with him and I asked a few questions and decided we would give it a try,” he told CTV News.
“After the first visit, I purchased a membership because there was no way you could compare this to any other place. Totally safe. Just an awesome place for the freedom of being nude when it's really hot.”
That first encounter was 18 years ago. Schick has lived at the club for the last 14.
