A Humanist Officiant is licensed by the province of Ontario for the purpose of performing legal marriages. He or she is required to be a member of the Humanist Association of Canada, or the Ontario Humanist Society, provide five references (three of which must come from Humanists), and pass a course developed and offered by the Ceremonies' Committee of the board of HAC or OHS. Collectively, our officiants have performed thousands of ceremonies. The officiant pays an annual licensing fee and membership, and is fully responsible for all costs incurred by providing the service (advertising, office supplies, correspondence, etc.). There is no salary nor pay from the HAC or OHS for this work, and the officiant is welcome to keep the honoraria offered by clients. The officiants have no legal relationship with the local
association (in our case, the Humanist Association of Toronto) |
