'''Furnal Equinox''' is a furry [[convention]] held during the month of March in [[Wikipedia:Toronto|Toronto]], [[Wikipedia:Ontario|Ontario]], [[Wikipedia:Canada|Canada]].<br />
<br />
== Origins ==<br />
<br />
Prior to Furnal Equinox's founding, the largest gatherings in the [[Toronto Furry|Toronto area]] tended to be larger furmeets such as the [[Islington Furmeet]] and BBQs hosted by [[Potoroo]], which regularly attracted between 50 to 100 people. Despite significant community support, Toronto had not yet hosted a hotel-based furry event. Furnal Equinox was therefore promoted in its first year as "Toronto's First Furry Convention".<br />
<br />
The convention originated from discussions on the Ontario Furries forum, which took place in late 2008 and early 2009, bringing together a number of interested individuals and the financial resources to develop a convention committee and the required organization. Furnal Equinox was formally announced to the world on July 1 (Canada Day), 2009.<ref>''[http://www.furnalequinox.com/FAQ FAQ], Furnal Equinox website (accessed 14 July 2010)</ref><br />
<br />
The name Furnal Equinox was conceived by [[ShiroTora]], one of the founding members of FE, and plays upon the convention's placement in March during the beginning of spring (the vernal equinox).<ref>''[http://www.furnalequinox.com/About-Us]'', Furnal Equinox website (accessed 14 July 2010)</ref><br />
<br />
== History ==<br />
<br />
'''[[Furnal Equinox 2010]]''' took place on March 6-7, 2010 at the Doubletree by Hilton Toronto Airport, attracting 330 attendees - the most for any furry event in Canada up to that point. The guests of honour were [[Heather Bruton]] and [[BushyCat]], and the convention celebrated the theme of "Furry Fun and Games".<br />
<br />
'''[[Furnal Equinox 2011]]''' will occur on March 11-13, 2011, returning to the Doubletree Toronto Airport. The Guests of Honour will be [[FirestormSix]] and [[ZEN]], and the convention's theme will be "Wild Magic".<br />
