Overview
The BC FurBQ is a furmeet that started in 2006 as a small backyard BBQ camping trip in British Columbia. The attendance in 2007 was expected to rise, so the location was moved to a more open camping area between Kelowna, BC and Vernon, BC. Events include outdoor games, a raffle, swimming, body painting, art sessions, fursuiting sessions, nature hikes, and various other organised activies.
As the name suggests, the FurBQ also consists of a massive barbecue dinner, generally occuring on the second night of the convention.

Interesting facts
- During FurBQ 2006, a small group of furs including Tasimmet, Kohl, Josiah, Sephren (Lady Serpent), and Kaji went on a late-night hike around Oliver, BC. They found a tire lying on the side of the road, and, after rolling him down a few hills and all the way back to the FurBQ location, it was dubbed that he would be named 'Tire', and would be an integral part of the BC FurBQ. Tire has attended every FurBQ since its inception, and is the official mascot of the BC furBQ.
- In 2007, it was decided by Methadone that Tire had a fox fursona.
- The phrase '<3 Tire' or 'Heart Tire' was dubbed by Kaji, and is Tire's official catch phrase.
- FurBQ is a completely clean event; no drugs or alchohol are permitted anywhere near the site.
- At FurBQ 2007, 12 furs and one german shepherd piled into (and on top of) a 5-fur car in the dark, because it was quite a long walk back up from the lake.
