our mandate

History and goals of Vancouver Facial Hair Club

 

The Vancouver Facial Hair Club was founded in January 2013, with the idea of creating a charitable social group to help promote a positive image for Facial Hair and to create a community for Facial Hair Growers, Builders, and Enthusiasts.

 

We promote respect, inclusivity, and fellowship within the Facial Hair community. We host monthly meet-ups for Members and non-members and host an annual Facial Hair Competition to raise money for local charities, with a focus on Men’s mental health and well-being, or other charitable organizations that directly address needs in the local community.

 

We are current members of the North American Charitable Beard and Moustache Alliance (www.nacbma.org) and the World Beard and Moustache Association (www.worldbeardandmoustacheassociation.org). Our members have participated in competitions nationally and internationally as both competitors and judges, and have won several awards and titles for Canada and our Club.

 

We host monthly open meet-ups [as of April/25, on the 3rd Wednesday of the month], at Hero's Welcome, 3917 Main St, Vancouver, BC. If you need beard advice, want to meet other facial hair enthusiasts, want to hang out and stare at some beards and moustaches, or need information about upcoming competitions in the area, then this is the place to be!
