Fur-Eh! (FEH) is Alberta's first official furry convention. It was conceived in 2010 by Thallanor Rasmuson, and its first iteration was over May 4-6, 2012.
The convention is held in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada, originally at the Hilton Garden Inn, and the Sawridge Inn and Conference Centre for a year before settling at the Edmonton Inn and Conference Centre (formerly The Ramada) from 2015.
Convention leaders[edit]
Fallout Coyote and Thallanor Rasmuson were the main coordinators of the convention until the 2016 convention which incorporated a committee structure for planning and operation.
After the 2016 convention, Fallout Coyote resigned from the convention committee.[1]
In 2022 Thallanor Rasmuson stepped down as the con chair and bcbreakaway took over as the new convention chair.[2]
On November 7 2023, bcbreakaway announced on Twitter that he resigned from the Fur-Eh! Board of Directors the previous day and was subsequently removed as the convention's chairman.[3] Fur-Eh! soon followed with an official announcement on November 8.[4]
On February 22, 2024 the convention announced that their new convention chair would be Chinona, the founder and former chair of the of the Winnipeg-based Wild Prairie Fur Con. In addition, Fur-Eh! selected Toasty, also a former Wild Prairie Fur Con staff member, as its vice-chair.[5]
