The true north strong and nude

With her shining smile and disarming demeanor, Petra Scheller became the public face of naturism in 1980s Canada

Summer 1986. Near the picturesque James River in Alberta, Petra Scheller stood naked under the hot sun, gazing out at a crowd of equally naked people staring skeptically back at her. They listened but appeared unconvinced of the gospel she’d come to spread. An evangelist of the just-established Federation of Canadian Naturists (FCN), Scheller was on a mission, sharing the faith that the time was nigh to unite nude Canucks from coast to coast to coast.  🪐

“They had heard rumours, but they were skeptical. And why not? They had heard it all before.
