NostalgicPony 310 August 27, 2012 Share August 27, 2012 (edited) Edit: Thanks to Senn for suggesting to edit the title. I should have remembered that this is a convention for not just B.C. bronies, but the entire brony population of Canada and International ones. It is a traveling convention. Some of you probably know about BronyCAN which is a big facebook group for bronies in Canada, but also to those nearing the boarders of the North. But recently BronyCAN just launched their site and have announced that they will host the first national brony convention in Canada! And they picked British Columbia as their first spot! Some say it's in Vancouver, but they have yet to officially announce the city or town. More info is found here: http://www.bronycan.com/index.html I don't mean to advertise, but this could be a great place in the future for a MLP Forums meetup for some on this forum, including Feld0! Summer 2013 --- Something to consider! I'm just going to keep this as a BronyCAN thread, for the other event I posted earlier will go into another thread at some point in the future.

Acoustic Cloud 2,202 August 27, 2012 Share August 27, 2012 sweet, i may not be in Canada, but Idaho is much closer to British Columbia than New York so this is a trip i could actually make so fingers crossed. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
~Chaos~ 3,967 August 27, 2012 Share August 27, 2012 I for sure need to attempt to attend one of these conventions, They are quite close to me, but it's just a matter of getting there. It would be really fun to meet some bronies in real life 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Princess_Molestia 1,460 August 27, 2012 Share August 27, 2012 BC is the farthest away from me good lord nothing in Canada is close but that is just beyond far... if it was in Toronto that'd be fine, hell even Ottawa or Montreal, but Vancouver...god damnet 3 Can't visit Ponyville?

Lightning Fluttershy 1,844 August 27, 2012 Share August 27, 2012 This makes me wish I lived in western Canada and not Toronto. Hopefully next year the will host it in Toronto! I can only hope! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

British Columbia is probably their best starting point because many of them people that work on the show reside in the province, so, it be easy for guests to come!

Samppao2 15 August 27, 2012 Share August 27, 2012 How many countries have these conventions? American people have bronycon, Canadians have bronycan and even we Finnish have ponimiitti!

(eng. ponymeet) As far as I know, the only countries that have had huge brony conventions would be BronyCon (New Jersey, USA), Everfree Northwest (Seattle, USA), B.U.C.K. (United Kingdom) and Galacon (Germany). Canterlot Gardens is scheduled to be in Ohio in the U.S. this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Princess_Molestia 1,460 August 27, 2012 Share August 27, 2012 my parents wouldn't care, they never cared what I like. they never cared about all the other cons I go to, its my money and I work for it Can't visit Ponyville?

Acoustic Cloud 2,202 August 27, 2012 Share August 27, 2012 Okay I am putting my hoof down and i will be going to this! It's in the summer so why not!? I have a passport...

If you have the time and money and if this convention seems promising for you then try to make it out! I'm sure if you try to find someone you know online that is going in the future you could possibly save money by carpooling/sharing hotel rooms. @Rainbow Dashey: You should be able to come across with a passport, maybe convince them its some sort of pop-cultural/anime convention or something and they decided to use ponies as a mascot!

--Eve-- 351 August 27, 2012 Share August 27, 2012 I live in the capitol, on an island. Pretty sure they're not going to pick Victoria. Although if they did, and they got an article in the newspaper, then that would (hopefully) spread good information about Bronies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rcollinz13 428 August 27, 2012 Share August 27, 2012 (edited) I think it sounds excellent, I only wish I still lived in Canada. I also think they need to come up with a better name than bronycan, is it just me or should it be called bronycon eh? Or some other stupid pun.

NostalgicPony 310 August 27, 2012 Author Share August 27, 2012 The composer Steffan Andrews just pointed out BronyCan as well on facebook. I have a feeling BronyCan's going to have lots of guests. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I enjoy the comfort of not having to share a hotel room Can't visit Ponyville? Show up and say you can't! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PlunderSteed 1,252 August 28, 2012 Share August 28, 2012 Sounds like a lot of fun. I have a couple of friends in that area...I'll have to see if they'll be going. I think it sounds excellent, I only wish I still lived in Canada. I also think they need to come up with a better name than bronycan, is it just me or should it be called bronycon eh? Or some other stupid pun. Close. I would have gone with "Bron-eh-CON", myself. 2 Regards, PlunderSteed Bassist, pianist, and backing vocalist for MLP-themed metal band Draconequus.

StarStreak 28 February 10, 2013 Share February 10, 2013 Fear not! There is actually a Con happening in TO! It's called CANterlot being held on September 14 - 15th!

TailsIsNotAlone 3,695 February 10, 2013 Share February 10, 2013 But I don't want to see the bronies' cans. O.o I kid. I'm happy for the Canadian fans. If this thing makes it to Toronto it will be closer to me than a lot of U.S. conventions are...but I probably won't try it. I've heard horror stories about that border. xD "Human beings fascinate me Being just the way they are..." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
