Description
The Fur Council of Canada is a national, non-profit federation representing people working in every sector of the Canadian fur trade. This includes fur producers, auction houses, processors, designers, craftspeople and retail furriers. Incorporated in 1964, Fur Council programs include: - Encouraging linkages between designers and other sectors of the fashion industry. - Sponsorship of competitions for both professional designers and students in Canadian fashion colleges. - Promotion of the work of innovative Canadian fur designers through FCC advertising in top national and international fashion publications. - Providing accurate information about the Canadian fur trade to consumers, educators and the public. The fur trade is a responsible industry based on the sustainable use of renewable resources. The fur trade is strictly regulated by the provincial and territorial wildlife departments; no endangered species are used and all furs used by the trade are abundant.
