It is February 2, the day celebrated in the United States and Canada as Groundhog Day. On this day, at several sites in both countries, local celebrations are had whilst groundhogs are observed in order to predict the weather of the next few weeks.

Transcontinental Media's Halifax branch has posted an article on the local branch of the fandom.

The piece is based on an interview with Streaks, Air and Nexii, who state the artistic basis of the fandom, explain the appeal of fursuiting, and describe the local community:

Initial comments appear positive, with a non-fur mentioning a local bowling meet.
