For the fourth year in a row, Furry Canada Day returns again!


When: 1st July 2011
Where: Start at Supreme Court at 2PM until the end of fireworks at 10:05PM
Why: Be proud! Be furry! Be Canadian! Be yourself!


Furry Canada Day is our annual way of celebrating Canada's birthday with a furry twist.

For the past three years, we've gathered in downtown Ottawa to help make Canada Day a little more special for everyone.

Your mission is simple, should you chose to accept it: walk from the Supreme Court to
the National Art Gallery, followed by a meal, and finally regroup for fireworks.
What's different from 2010:


Last year, we had designated some wonderful volunteers to help the event run smoothly.


This time around, we won't be picking anyone specifically, but everyone is welcome to
help out.


T-Shirts:

This years, we'll be selling t-shirts! The shirts red, with a twhite paw on the right side of the body. They will be sold for about $24. If you want one, let us know right away!

We're only making enough to cover orders, so we won't have any extras.




Psst... We've have a secret:

For those who plan on coming, we'll be giving out a limited number of Canadian flags
decorated with paws for free. There will be a very limited number, so its first come first
serve.



Do you have a suit?

For those of you that are either fursuiter or a spotter, you know how much of a hassle itis to get suited up then commute to the event location. That's why, this year, we're settingup an apartment for use as a staging area for suiters. If you need a place close to
downtown to suit up or unsuit, its perfect. The fursuit HQ is located a 3 minute walk
from the Hurdman bus station, or a 20 minute walk from downtown.


!!!!!!!!!!IMPORTANT!!!!!!: The Fursuit HQ is for fursuiters and spotters ONLY since we're expecting a large number of suiters. We will need all the space we can get. Unless you make otherarrangements, the Fursuit HQ is not for overnight use.

We'll be stocking up on water bottles and healthy snacks, so you can stay on your feet longer.



Food Guide

We want to make your experience at this annual meet better and better every year.

Oneof the biggest complaints we received last year was that the supper wasn't organized very well. This time around, we're going to try and make it a bit easier to get some grub between the walk and the fireworks.

As we will get closer to Canada Day, we'll be printing a guide on where to eat and kill
time before the fireworks. If you have any suggestions, let us know!
Wait, we had how many people?

The third annual Canada Day furry meet was a great success last year with over 75 furs showing up in total, with 57 at one time.



This year we're hoping to:

• Get more then 7 fursuiters on the hill***
• Beat 75 cumulative furs
• Beat 57 furs at the same time***



Special giveaway for picture takers and video takers!!!

Have a camera? Wanna show off your photography skills? Wanna have some fun taking lots of pictures and videos? Then we want you to be a part of the Furry Canada Day

Camera Crew!

Why you want to be a part of the team:

-First off, you'll have the Canada Day crew official thanks. You will be what keeps the
memory going for many, many months to come.
-Secondly, you will be fed. (Free Food!)
-Who do we want?

We'll be selecting four people to join the elite ranks of the Furry Canada Day Camera
Crew. If you want to be a part of the team, you'll need your own camera (video or still), a willingness to take lots of pictures and some super-awesome photography skills! (The last requirement is optional. We're desperate. We'll take anyone with a camera. Really.)

Even though spots on the official team are limited, we still encourage everyone to take lots of pictures and to drop by the Photo Collection area after the walk.




Events at Canada Day

There are two main events planned for this year, the walk and the fireworks.

The Walk, starting at 2:00 PM:

1. We will walk from the Supreme Court to Parliament Hill and then there shall be
pictures, laughs and hanging out. The official group picture will be taken on Parliament
Hill.

2. Afterwards the walk will bring us to the National Art Gallery, about 5 minutes
walking distance from Parliament Hill where we'll take a break, and where we'll
be collecting everyone's photos.

3. Break for food, drink and unsuiting.
The Fireworks, starting around 9:00 PM:

4. After eating, meet up on the Quebec side of the river, at the Museum of Civilization.
There will be a nice big tarp set up for us before everyone arrives, but
you're welcome to bring folding chairs or other seating since space fills up quick.


See you on the hill =D
