About What The Fur
What The Fur (WTF?) was a furry convention in Montreal, Quebec, held from 2010 to 2017 and organized by Productions Anthropomorphique. It was started by the local MonFur and Francofur communities to fill the gap left by C-ACE and Anthrofest in Eastern Ontario and Western Quebec, and was announced at the MonFur Christmas party in December 2008. The name came from staff failing to find a title without the words Anthro, Furry or Fur. It was held at the Espresso Hotel, the Delta Centre-Ville, the Sheraton Montreal Airport and the Holiday Inn Pointe-Claire, with close ties to Furnal Equinox, Condition and FurFright. Its charity was the Saint Lawrence Valley Natural History Ecomuseum.
