This Weekend: Anime North
:: Posted by Bryan @ 5/25/2007 03:47:00 AM 
Canada's largest anime and manga-related event takes place this weekend at a variety of locations in Toronto. Anime North is a source for all things having to do with Japanese culture. Manga/comics artists who will be appearing as guests of the convention include Steve Bennett, Ben Dunn, Scott Ramsoomair, Alex Milne, Svetlana Chmakova, and Ryan North and there are large "artists alleys" for writers and artists, including fans. There are several anime film premieres as well a musical events/dances, cosplay, etc etc. As well, the queer-friendly Yaoi North event, mentioned here earlier in the week, is also taking place under the aegis of Anime North.
Tons of vendors and comics/manga dealers as well, including Toronto's The Beguiling (even my own local shop, The Dragon in Guelph, takes part, I think).
Full details at the extensive website.
