Welcome to What The Fur, Quebec's only full furry convention. What is What The Fur? Why the name? those are all excellent questions.
What The Fur was started as an idea following the end of the C-ACE conventions in Ottawa. Some of the staff of the convention, and some of the long-time attending folks didn't want the good times to end. So the thought came that a new convention should be formed. A convention that focussed more on the Furry side of things than C-ACE had. And thus was born WTF?. It has taken a few years, and quite a lot of work, but here we are.
With the hard work of a very dedicated volunteer staff, we try and give the best convention experience to our attendees. From educational workshops on costume building, writing, and art styles, to fun and games.
| What the fur offers not only a dealers area, where both amateur and professional artists sell and show their artwork, but we also offer an Art Show Gallery, showcasing the best of the artwork from our artists and guests.
What The Fur provides for a smaller, more cozy convention experience. Where some convention attendance levels range in the thousands, we differentiate ourselves by having a smaller gathering. This is a place where you can attend and talk with friends, make new friends, go and see the sights, or just hang out and play some games.
In 2010, WTF? had an attendance of 228, with roughly 21 fursuiters. 2011 saw 221 people, 32 of which participated in our outdoor parade. In 2012, 282 people attended, in 2013 292, and in 2014 303 came to WTF making it our largest so far.
What The Fur also supports a charity, the Ecomuseum located in the western part of the island of Montreal. This is another place in which our attendees prove that they are generous, having raised thousands of dollars for the Ecomuseum. To learn a little more, visit our Charity page.
So what exactly is What The Fur? We're possibly the best furry convention in North America. We're not too busy, not too relaxed. We have a little bit of something for everyone.
