MC10/ Larry Dickinson sous-fonds

  • CA QHINB MC4111 / MC10
  • Subfonds
  • 1995-2009, 2014-2017

Larry Dickinson founded East Coast Bears, an organization that hosted the annual Fur Fest. Larry and his partner, Steve Rogers also documented Fredericton Pride events with photos and video.
Fur Fest began in 1995 and ran until 2006. For many years, the event was held at the Wandlyn Inn, in Fredericton, until it's last years where Fur Fest moved to the Crowne Plaza. The first Fur Fest had about 25 participants, and included a dance at the Kinsmen Center. By 2006 there were more than 175 bears at the event, and FF was advertised in the Fredericton City Tourism Guide.
The group defined bears as: people who were, or liked, masculine, hairy men. There are many definitions of what a bear should look like; as far as this group was concerned, it's not just physical, it was emotional and societal too, a fraternal sense of acceptance and belonging, fitting in, feeling sexy and desirable, comfortable in your own skin, and being able to establish a chosen family. All were welcome who were interested in bears.
The collection includes 299 digital photos of Fredericton Pride events from 2014-2017, 1 video of the Fredericton Pride parade 2015, and a photo album documenting Fur Fest 1996-2005.

MC8/ The G Club sous-fonds

  • CA QHINB MC4111 / MC8
  • Subfonds
  • 1998-2002

Greg Ericson opened The G Club, located at 377 King St., on the third floor, with two business partners on the second week of September 1998; the club closed 4 July 2003.
In 1998, there were no other gay clubs in Fredericton, and Ericson and his partners opened a bar that would serve the community. Ericson wanted a space that offered product excellence (in the form of a variety of liquors and original cocktails), as well as a comfortable / welcoming social space for LGBTQ+ folks. Employees were encouraged to greet newcomers and introduce them to the regular patrons, welcoming them into the space before the dance music began. A competition was held to name the club, and “The G Club” was chosen for its ambiguity: it could be 'The Good Club', 'The Gay Club', but many patrons referred to it as 'The G-Spot', as the club was “on the third floor, and difficult to find”- Greg Ericson.
City by-laws require bars to close their doors at 2:00AM, The G Club patrons would be getting out at the same time as patrons from other clubs- which caused a few fights to break out, and LGBTQ+ folks didn't feel safe returning home. To address this issue, the club would often remain open until the other bar crowds dispersed. Included in the collection are a number of Suspension Notices issued by the New Brunswick Department of Public Safety, for violating the Liquor Control Act by remaining open past 2:00AM. Included in this collection are invoices and a letter from Chippin Ventures Inc. It was Ericson’s perception that Chippin Ventures was particularly aggressive towards The G. Club, looking to bill and fine the business wherever they could.
