VancouFur
VancouFur is the first furry convention on Canada's west coast.
VancouFur 2012 took place March 9–11, 2012 at the Executive Suites in Burnaby, British Columbia.[1] Guest of honor for 2012 was Thumper.
The theme for VancouFur's first year was "Great White North", a play on many of the widely held stereotypes about Canada. There were 347 attendees in 2012,[citation needed] with 73 fursuiters in the parade.
As VF 2012 was a success, preparations are already under way for VF 2013.

[edit] Staff
The event was chaired by Coal Silverfur.
Because of Vancouver's large and diverse Furry community, many of the founding staff of VancouFur have connections to other major events. Two of the most notable are Aphinity, known for his dedication to Howloween; and Trapa, who helped found Califur and Rainfurrest (and who chaired a prior attempt to form a furry convention in the Vancouver area).

[edit] Schedule
There was no event list or schedule on the convention website by March 6,[2] although a March 5 tweet by VancouFUR linked to a journal post on Fur Affinity with "For serious: Dealers Den and Art Show times!"[3] and a March 6 tweet stated "very sorry for the delay in getting the schedule out! Should see it today."[4]
