The finalists from Ottawa will parade during the masquerade. The winner and runner-up will be crowned on Sunday during the masquerade awards ceremony. \nCosplay-Eh!TM aims to showcase the cream of the crop of cosplayers and costume designers to promote and recognize the art of cosplay—a passion and an essential element in the success of events focused on pop culture and Japanese animation. Canada is brimming with talent\, and Cosplay-Eh!TM aims to shine a spotlight on it. Finalists will be selected from across the country and invited to participate in the finals\, which will take place each summer in Montreal\, culminating in the awarding of the title of cosplay king or queen. The first finals will be held in July 2026 during Montreal Comiccon. \n\n\n  \n\n\nThroughout the weekend\, fans will encounter some of the most spectacular cosplayer groups in Canada. The Capital City Garrison—home to the 501st Legion of Eastern Ontario and an alliance of over 75 Star Wars costumed villains—will roam the grounds\, supporting charities and local community events under the motto “Bad Guys Doing Good.” The members of IKV Rising Thunder Bird will delight fans with their fierce embodiment of all things Klingon. The KAG (Klingon Assault Group)\, thriving for over three decades\, will share their love of Star Trek and good times. Ottawa’s League of Super Heroes will parade their passion for screen-accurate costumes and charitable causes\, while the Ottawa chapter of the Doctor Who Society of Canada will continues its mission of promoting adventurous social interaction and intelligent exchange across time and space. And fear not: Ottawa’s Capital Ghostbusters will be on hand to ensure no paranormal activity spoils the celebrations (will they succeed?).

SUMMARY:An Evening with Jane Goodall
DESCRIPTION:Dr. Jane Goodall first set foot in the forests of Tanzania in 1960\, armed with little more than a notepad\, a pair of binoculars and a dream of living in Africa and observing wildlife. \nFrom the moment she witnessed a chimpanzee make a tool to the moment she decided to leave the park in order to save the chimpanzees she cared for\, Dr. Goodall will describe her extraordinary scientific breakthroughs in animal behaviour and her journey to becoming one of the world’s most prominent and active conservationists. \nDr. Goodall’s talks never fail to inspire people of all ages as she recounts her unique experiences as a young woman working alone in the rainforest and her hope for a future where people live in harmony with nature.
