What a magical weekend in Toronto! Furnal Equinox had great expectations for its second year, and you did not disappoint -- in fact, you blew us away again and gave us an experience that we won't soon forget!
This year Furnal Equinox had more attendees than
any other Canadian furry event in history.
Over 450 people attended the convention, and that includes
110 fursuiters who participated in the parade on Saturday!
Not only that, but the generosity of our attendees was absolutely outstanding. The Charity Auction raised
$4,000 for the Mississauga Humane Society, including a commission from ZEN that fetched $450! Our charity director Shane and everyone else involved are very grateful to everyone who donated items to the auction, as well as those who bid on them.
An event like this could not happen without a legion of volunteers and staff who assisted with registration, dealers, the Wolf's Den, games room, and many more responsibilities. We would also be remiss if we didn't mention our Security team. It could not be done without your assistance and we are truly grateful that you stepped up to make our event a success. If you want to be part of our team next year in a role such as staff, it's not too early to contact us!
