The International Ferret Congress is thrilled to welcome the Canadian Chapter of the International Ferret Congress to our organization. As many of you know, Randy Belair put on the very first international ferret symposium with her Ferrets 2000 in Toronto, 4 1/2 years ago. For those who attended, it was a truly remarkable experience. We had been to ferret shows before, to club meetings and frolics, but we had never been to anything like this. At Ferrets 2000 we learned the latest in ferret care, and shared the joys and sorrows of living with and loving these animals. Randy and her event were inspirations to us. We wanted to bring this type of event to others, to recreate if possible the sense of community and camaraderie we experienced in Toronto. We hope in some small way we have done so with the events in Las Vegas, Niagara Falls and Atlanta. We hope to do so again in St. Louis this spring. We know it will happen in Toronto in June 2006, and we hope to see you all there! Thank you Randy, and welcome!
