'''Ottawa Furs''' is a furry community that serves the [[w:Ottawa|city of Ottawa]] and region in Ontario, Canada. It replaced the long-dead [[Capital Furs]] group.<br />
<br />
The group is relatively well organized, with a fairly strong web presence. They maintain a weekly [[furmeet]] with an average attendance of 20 people, and a [[Facebook]] group with 226 members (as of October 9, 2015).<br />

== History ==<br />
<br />
The Ottawa Furry Community has been around since the mid-1990s. Originally known as OttFur, the community held many events until late 2002 when the administrator of the online forum left the city. The online forum for OttFur was run originally by [[Kovu]] and then by [[Gallagher]]. In 2003-2004{{clarify}} the OttFur name was replaced by Capital Furs.<br />
After several unknown events,{{clarify}} Capital Furs died down from being what appeared to be<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y8HeH9gsdz4 "Ottawa Furries - Club Nights"] - video on [[Dusk Kangawuff]]'s channel on [[YouTube]].

<br />
During the period of transition from when Capital Furs died down and Ottawa Furs formed, [[Kaldar Lion]] kept the "remaining" furry community of Ottawa together with his weekly "[[McFur]]" meet. The largest "McFur" meet had 36 attendees in late 2014, shortly before the meet was moved and remade.<br />
<br />
Things dramatically changed in 2014 when co-founder [[Quyet Pawz]] met [[Sangha Leo]]. Together, they, Kaldar, and several others began the process or creating the new and improved Ottawa Furs community.<br />
