Got a beard? Toronto has a club for that...

This city has its fair share of quirky clubs to choose from. Think radio controlled planes, axe throwing, pipe smoking and, if you can grow a beard or moustache, the Toronto Facial Hair Club.

Alas, I can't really do either to the extent that I'd like to (though I can pull off a grow-out at least a bit better than a certain star hockey player), but the club still sounds like an intriguing social exercise. Along with fostering discussion of the "Brotherhood amongst Toronto facial hair wearers," the group also sends representatives to moustache and beard competitions at home and abroad. Yes, such things exist!

So, if you've ever felt alienated by your decision to wear facial hair or if you just like to talk about grooming techniques (I hear Oster trimmers are the best), then head on over to the Cloak & Dagger for the next monthly meeting of the Toronto Facial Hair Club. Your brethren await.
