- to organize and sponsor educational opportunities on topics relevant to survival research through lectures, discussion groups, and demonstrations of mediumship

- to conduct or participate in historical studies of spiritualism and psychical research in Canada
- to develop, conduct or participate in scientific experiments to determine whether evidence providing proof of survival is possible, such as pre-arranged dictionary, combination and other tests designed to identify a specific post-mortem communicator
