Furnal Equinox (FE) is Canada's largest furry convention, held in downtown Toronto, Ontario. It drew 3,690 attendees in 2025 and raised $23,920 for Procyon Wildlife. The March 2026 edition at the Westin Harbour Castle will be the convention's final year at that venue before relocating to the Sheraton Centre Toronto in 2027.
The lakeside Westin Harbour Castle has served as FE's home for years. However, the convention's growth means the March 20-22, 2026 iteration will be its last at this venue.
The "Starbound Sabbatical" theme frames the event as a farewell to the Westin, using a spaceship-departure metaphor for the venue transition. The weekend will feature the convention's creative showcases, dances, and grand parade.
Recent years have shown steady fundraising growth: FE reported 3,647 attendees and $14,387 for Procyon Wildlife in 2024, then 3,690 attendees and $23,920.10 in 2025.
Toronto's transit infrastructure supports convenient access for travelers. The UP Express Train connects Pearson Airport (YYZ) to downtown in 25 minutes, while Billy Bishop Airport (YTZ) is located on the Toronto Islands near the venue.
