While there are several PoC (People of Colour) Cosplayer groups and related pages on Facebook and other social media sites, those communities are “pretty small” in Canada, says Harris. There are conventions all around the world where people wear fantastic apparel with an eye toward portraying their favorite characters. “When I go to Fan Expo in Toronto, for example, I run into maybe a handful of people who I actually know from the online community and there are a few others here and there who are just out having fun and whatnot,” she says.
