Royal City Furries
May 4, 2024 | Guelph, ONJoin us for dance night at The Grand for a fun-filled evening of great music and good times.
About Us
We are a small group of furries in the Guelph, Ontario, area. We aim to bring furries together for local events, meet-ups, and other gatherings. Although we are located in Guelph, everyone is welcome to join us.
Why Royal City?
In 1827, the City of Guelph was named to honour the British Royal Family, the Hanoverians. They were descendants from the house of Welf, also known as Guelf or Guelph, pronounced the same. This is why, over a century later, you will see people referring to Guelph as “The Royal City”.
