A fundraising project of the Newfoundland and Labrador Beard and Moustache Club, the 2018 MerB’ys Calendar featured a diverse group of bearded humans dressed as Mermen. It raised more than $300,000 for Spirit Horse, a local mental health organization, and created global buzz for challenging conventional views of what masculinity and beauty should be. The term MerB’y combines the word Merman with the gender-neutral Newfoundland term B’y.
