Saskatoon Engineering Society engaging in religious discrimination and bigotry while calling itself local agent for APEGS

The Saskatoon Engineering Society is showing off its religious discrimination and bigotry against people who don't believe in Christianity while highlighting its association with the Association of Professional Engineers and Geoscientists of Saskatchewan (APEGS).  On this Christmas mixer event webpage, Saskatoon Engineering Society states, " The Saskatoon Engineering Society (SES) has a mandate to advance the engineering profession and related societies by assisting in information exchange between Society members and the Association of Professional Engineers and Geoscientists of Saskatchewan (APEGS) Council by acting as a local agent and focal point to promote matters pertaining to the education and awareness of the profession."  As you can see, Saskatoon Engineering Society is stating on its Christmas event webpage that it's a local agent of the Association of Professional Engineers and Geoscientists of Saskatchewan (APEGS).  The APEGS Executive Committee and Governing Board should look at this. 

The only reason Saskatoon Engineering Society would keep doing this after I repeatedly complained is to assert the superiority of Christianity instead of respecting diversity.  Saskatoon Engineering Society is a bastion of bigotry and Christian supremacy.  Since I started complaining, they have gotten worse, not better.  Saskatoon Engineering Society needs to be defunded and delisted as an APEGS constituent society. 

People argue that Christmas is secular to non-Christians, but the non-Christians they’re talking about are mostly of Christian ancestry and the same can be said about all religious holidays.  Hanukkah is secular to non-Jews who are of Jewish ancestry and Eid al-Fitr is secular to non-Muslims who are of Muslim ancestry, but Saskatoon Engineering Society isn't having parties for Hanukkah, Eid al-Fitr, or any other religion.
