Summary
A Toronto-area skinny dipping club has faced criticism for allowing nude youth and adults to co-mingle, leading to allegations of threats to their safety, while naturist groups defend themselves against misinformed criticisms and highlight the benefits of family social nudity. The controversy has escalated to the point where members have sought police protection due to violent threats, with the president of the International Naturist Federation emphasizing the positive nature of naturism and questioning the timing of the hate just before National Skinny Dip day.
