CanFURence is East Canada's premier furry event, located in the national capital of Ottawa.
Ottawa's downtown location allows for unique "Fursuit Walkies"—public fursuit parades through city parks—that increase visibility and community engagement and are a hallmark of the CanFURence experience.
The event leverages its downtown location with unique events like "Fursuit Walkies," a parade through the city streets that offers amazing photo ops against historic backdrops.
The 2025 theme "Furries of the Wastes" featured a gritty, Fallout-inspired post-apocalyptic setting - a goldmine for creative costuming and prop-making.
