“COSTUME-CON is an annual conference about costumes. The convention has its roots in science fiction and fantasy conventions and historic re-enactment type events, but all forms of costuming are welcome, including anime, fursuit, etc. Costume-Con is a “travelling” national-level convention, and is in a different city and run by a different committee each year. Rendevous with your fellow c.o.s.t.u.m.e. spies, past, present, or future! SF fans, Historical Reenactors, Cosplayers, Furries, Theater Folk, Ethnic Heritage Performers all encouraged to report for duty.”

“The Toronto Comic Arts Festival exists to promote the breadth and diversity of comics, and what is considered comics, as legitimate medium of literary and artistic worth. The Toronto Comic Arts Festival is a unique comics event, patterned after comics festivals like Angouleme, Harlem, and the Small Press Expo. It is two full days of comics-related events, including readings, presentations, panel discussions, gallery shows, and a large exhibition area featuring publishers and comic authors and artists. We like to describe it as ‘unconventional’.”
