I would like to welcome one and all to Coronation XI in lovely Halifax, Canada’s Ocean Play-ground. For those from out of town, I hope you enjoy our hospitality and for all you locals I hope you enjoy a wonderful night. When it comes to Coronation, it wouldn’t be possible without the support of people like you.A Reign takes the work of an entire society and the dedication and hard work of ISCANS is second to none. Reign X came with many challenges but every year comes with such chal-lenges. It’s how you overcome them that gauge the success of an organization like ISCANS.The leadership of a society is as important as its membership. Without a great Board of Direc-tors, which we definitely had, a group has great issues. I would like to thank all the Board; Dennis, you where always there to support me. Joseph, what a different year. I AM SO PROUD of you. Natasha, our records are so prompt and organized. Bruce, you know how to organize an event, keep asking until they say yes. Lee, Your graphics and creative spirit are wonderful. Shadoe, you stuck in there, good for you.C. Leah and Nathan; What to say!!C Leah, you have done a great job, we have seen you blossom from a caterpillar into a butter-fly, that really makes an Empress. How Proud I am!Nathan, even though it’s been bumpy at times, you have my honour, being the stepping down Emperor with such grace and poise. I watched you from being a boy to an Emperor.So I hope you all enjoy the evening and all Halifax has to offerCongratulations!! We all made it!I also want to wish Mz Vicki all the luck and success. Enjoy!

Halifax: I apologize now if I don’t name you all by name as there are countless of you that havebeen by my side throughout this reign and for that I am truly grateful.

Jozef, for simplyeverything you have done even when I had to remind you to stop worrying so much. UpperHouse, for the continued support and countless events you all helped out with. Boom Boom,holy crow it’s been a ride and I still think you were crazy for 3 times. Thank you everything thisyear – the countless talks, smacks to my head, all to keep me level headed and to keep going.

My Empress: C.Leah it seems that not long ago that you and I were having the chat to run ornot to run for the ‘big tin hat’. It has been quite the reign with smiles and frowns, laughter andtears, but here we are still standing strong and together. Thank you for the countless talk downswhen I was upset and simply beside myself. From the great highland heart of Nova Scotia youhave definitely left your mark on the members of the court of Halifax, as well as those abroad.For you are my friend, my wifey and my Empress – my Rainbow Empress.

Alrighty folks, now that I have brought back the good memories and quite possibly stirred sometears, I hope you all enjoy yourself this evening and your time in the great city of Halifax. Thankyou one and all for being here and being part of our celebration.

Nate N!-Bent

To our guests from courts far and wide, to our friends, supporters and members from Halifax and across Nova Scotia, it is a true pleasure to wel-come you to ISCANS’Coronation XI!

It has been a remarkable year, and an experience I will always treasure.While there were moments of anxiety and frustration – and sadness at the loss of ICP II Meshally – yet we did what the court does best. We served our community, raised money for charities, and had a lot of fun along the way. We are a small but mighty court with great dreams and a desire to make them happen. I learned so much from each and every one of you. This has been a year of change and transition. Last year, the court elected an Empress from outside Halifax for the first time, and this was a big chal-lenge for all of us, but we came through it flying the colours of pride all the way!

It was a great privilege to meet monarchs, upper houses and members from other courts. To the Imperial Sovereign Court of the Chinook Arch: the Calgary Coronation was my first outside of Halifax, and it was a special thrill to return to my hometown for the occasion. Joey Hailey, you are a class act. Bianca, you made feel so welcome! Mary Poppers: you were a great ½-empress and do Calgary and Halifax proud. Scotty, you are one of the best and I am so glad we had the chance to become friends during Halifax Pride. To the Imperial Court of Hamilton-Wentworth – all the ru-mours about you are true! Hard-working, hard partying, and great hosts, you are a true sister court. Thank you to all – and especially to Miss Drew, Nikki Davis, Robin Derring and Monro – for theamazing and abundant hospitality!

To Rainbow Proud in Truro: nothing’s better than a community dance at a Lion’s Club!Thank you, Jill McMasters and Wayne Collette, for making the Court part of your events.Ralph – you are the Queen of Truro. I will see all of you soon at Priscilla in Antigonish!Speaking of Antigonish, I was blessed with the incredible support from the communityin my adopted hometown. My wife Mena and my youngest child Daniella survived myabsences and anxieties with grace. Ben Jantzen, Rory Begin, ICP 10 Peter the Greek, andMathieu Craig – you and the other students of X-Pride at St. Francis Xavier Universityare very special. It was inspiring that during my reign town council finally proclaimedPride Week. You were always there when I needed you. To my Antigonish ICP, AllieOopsie – you are an Angel destined for great things. To Paula Brow, costumer forTheatre Antigonish – always ready to mend, alter and create! Joseph and Kenny, you arestalwarts in Antigonish. Derrick Fulton, you may be a Toronto lawyer but you are stillmy best friend on this planet and were an amazing supporter this year. Your generositymade a huge difference.

The last time I looked, I was closing in on 10,000 kilometres by car on the roundtrip fromAntigonish to Halifax But it was worth it! For in Halifax lies the heart of the Court, andsome of the most wonderful people. To Allan Dowding, I wish you the best in NB. We’llmiss you. Shadoe, we both faced some challenges this year; thank you for your constantencouragement. Stephen Filek of Reflections: getting to know you was such a pleasure!Your support for the Court and your respect for drag is phenomenal. Bruce Crooks – youdid so many things, big and small, to encourage me, help raise money, make this year a

success. Kent, you are a real sweetheart – the calm within the storm. To my oldest child,and Mr. Gay Halifax, Shay – what a privilege to watch you becoming a great performerand to work the same stage together. I am so proud of you. Clohë MacDonald – one ofa kind. You had my back, my bags, and were my shotgun, all year. You made every tripdown, every show, that much easier. Deva, thank you for stepping up at key times thisyear and making things glitter. Dyna – the mightiest softball curves I have ever seen. Youare quite a sight from third-base. Queen of Diamonds, Cherry Bomb, you played with thedrag queens and survived! Proud of you. Mame, no one raises money at the door or onthe BBQ like you. Linda, you are warm, welcoming and full of such delightful surprises!Nina, thanks for sticking with me even when I was driving you crazy. Bunni, wish youwere here but hope you are taking it easy on TO!

Helping always hands make for lighter work, more money for our charities, and astronger community. I was blessed with a great board that really put its shoulder to thewheel: Ed, Dennis, Lee, Jozef, Ryan, Bruce, Nate, and Sheila. Dennis, thank you forliterally cooking up a storm! Lee, what can I say? You are the mad artistic genius fromthe barbarian north and I love you for that and so much more. Jozef – you are Halifax’sbad boy with a heart of gold and an uncanny knack for encouraging me at exactly theright moments.

To the one and only Elle Noir – fierce, gutsy, gorgeous and always ready to lend yourincredible talent to a good cause. Boom Boom, you were the first ISCANS queen I evermet and I will NEVER forget the sight on that stormy night of the first-ever Priscillaseven years ago when three feet of snow shut down everything in Antigonish – excepta court show. It was the start of a beautiful friendship and I thank you for that, foreverything since, and especially for the last year. I could not have had a better upperhouse. Kristi, I’m so glad you jumped on board to add your own special pizzazz andsparkle. To the effervescent Kimberly Diamond: you were so cute and fun at DiamondDivas that we just had to bring you back to Halifax from Moncton. Natassha, you cameback in the nick of time and were ALWAYS there! You are simply fabulous. Ahem. ToRouge Fatale from Her Misery – the best damned Hiccup ever. One of these days, whenI finally get it all right, you’ll be to blame for it. Mz. Vicki, you were the perfect HeirApparent. The hardest working queen in Halifax, the best fundraiser, and always readyto the best supporter. Thank you, girlfriend, for making Chez Vicki my home-away-fromhome and taking such good care of me. Finally, to my husband: Nate, we made it! Therewere some bumps along the way, but it kept things interesting. Now let’s see some skittlepopping. It has been an honour and a pleasure to work alongside all of you this past year.

With love and in continuing service to the court and the community,

Her Most Imperial Sovereign MajestyThe Sassy and Classy Ruby and Emerald Eagle “She Is All That Jazz!”Empress 10 of Halifax and all of Nova ScotiaC. Leah Cruise

Imagine if you can, being in the country, a 10 minute drive east of a small village called Mount Stew-art, on an island known to be Prince Edward Island. Prince Edward Island; or P.E.I. being the short form that is probably more known to be, is located off the east coast of Canada between New Bruns-wick and Nova Scotia. That is where is I was born. Growing up, I always knew I was different than everyone else, and believe me if you knew where I was from, you too would say literally “everyone else”. Everyonealways picked on me, and by the age of 10 I really started to feel what I then understood at that age to be; an attraction to boys.

I didn’t understand until my teenage years when I burst out of the closet and stated to the world that I am gay. It was that point in my life that I knew I was about to go through a serious change in life-style, and be open to the world of the gay community and what it had in store for me. I decided to take refuge and join a youth group. At my time on P.E.I. and yes there was a youth group and it was wonderful. I got to go on trips and meet wonderful people. Then I discovered the world of online. Well. . . That was fucked up.

One great thing happened to me though from meeting men on the internet. I met a man that I didn’treally know well, but believed that there was a future somewhere. This man of mystery in my lifebecame my husband, and further into our relationship became known to be my wife. He is wonder-ful,happy, and would fill even the darkest room with the most wonderful light. He became the drag queentoday that we all know to be Rouge Fatale. Rouge has been my biggest support for helping me dis-cover the Imperial Court System, and what it stood for. Into participating with the court and then making my way to be Imperial Crown Prince, I got to meet wonderful people all over the world who join together in an organization that would be so much fun and leave a large impact in my life.

People like Natassha N, Mz. Vikki, Deva station, Dyna Myte, Lee Bent, and many other of the greatpeople I met throughout my newfound life here in Nova Scotia I wish to extend my thanks. And of Course a big thanks to Their Majesties, Nate N Bent and C. Leah Cruise and congratulations on a year well done! Everyone has opened my eyes, taught me well, and guided me through my reign this year. For this, there is no coronation booklet big enough that would allow me to personally thank each individual person I wish to thank, I am left with this. Thank You. Thank you to each person who stood by my side no matter how unpleasant I would be, and no matter how happy I would be, but above all, thank you to The person whom I would not be here without. Jason Rose-Spurrell (A.K.A. Rouge Fatale)

“Well, here we go again!”

This is what I thought when I began this year. As this year has progressed, good and bad, I have come to remember what this whole, ICS stands for. It is all about the community coming together. Bringing help to the four charities, as well as anywhere else in Nova Scotia we can lend a hand. Whether it is through fund raising, serving meals, or just being there. ISCANS has done this.

So, here we go with the thanks. Your Misery, it has been an honour serving next to you this year.

We made history here in N.S. and I am proud of ya. Love your hiccup. Mr. Naterz, “I KNOW! I KNOW, TOO!” one of my oldest friends in this city, and always will be. My girls, Kristi, N, Deva, Dyna, Kim, Hex,Elle, Boom, Bunni, Allie, thank you for being there, through it all. To my Boys, Owen, Clo, Lee, Michael,Ewan, Shae, Jozef, Bruce, love you all! To my OOT’s! Mary, Nikki, Munroe, Claudia, Bree, Dixie, Krystal, Alexander, Myke, I know I always have a friend, no matter where I am. To Zach, my brother, you have noidea what your friendship has meant to me. Even though you can’t be here, you will be in my heart. Love you, Katuckatuck ;) Final thank you, to my other half, both in ISCANS and in life, my best friend, and my husband, Kent. You have put up with so much, and with me. With all my heart and all my soul. <3

Ok, that is so enough of that. As they say, “three times the charm” and this is the end of year three ofICPing for me. I am proud and honoured to be “Her most imperial sovereign highness, ICP 6, 8, and 10.” The even numbered ICP, with the odd personality. So, as I say when we close the curtain, “Good-night ladies and gentlemen! Do not drink and drive, you will spill your beer!

Love, Luck, and lollipops, Rouge Fatale.

Γεια σας! Hello!

I still can’t believe that I ever got the opportunity to spend one year of my life as a prince. It has beenwonderful. The experience has been heightened by the fact that ISCANS, the loveliest and most tal-entedorganization of people I have ever met, is the governing body from which my princely position wasgranted. I must especially thank my outstanding Emperor 10 Of Halifax And All Of Nova Scotia, Nate N!Bent for believing I was worthy of such an honour, and for helping me to understand my role withinISCANS. I must also thank Her Most Imperial Sovereign Majesty C. Leah Cruise for being such a ravish-ingand capable Empress, and for all of her guidance as well. In addition, my fellow Imperial Crown Princ-esand Princesses deserve all the praise in the world, and in particular I should thank my resplendentcounterpart, Imperial Crown Princess 10 Allie Oopsie, whose support from the beginning has beeninvaluable to me.

The good work that the Imperial Sovereign Court of Nova Scotia does is amazing. I’m so glad to have hadthe chance to be a part of it. I will continue my support of this great organization until long after my titlehas been passed on.

I know that this Coronation Week will be one to remember. I hope that everybody has an absolute blast!

Ευχαριστούμε! Thank you!

Imperial Crown Prince 10Peter the Greek

This past year with the Halifax ISCANS court has been a wonderful learning experience, and every-thing I have learned will go with me in future endeavors.

Although I was living in Antigonish for the majority of this year’s reign, and was only eighteen for most of it, as well, learning so much from such a strong Drag community such as the court has cer-tainly helped me come into my own and being surrounded by such serious and hard workers was wonderful.

I’d like to thank my Empress 10, C. Leah, and Emperor 10, Nate N Bent for their great reign. I would especially LOVE to thank my sister ICP Rouge fatale for working so hard, especially in much of my ab-sence, and for taking such a load of responsibility, you really worked it, Girl! Everyone else in the court did such a wonderful job with events, shows, and fundraisers and I can’t wait to see how the court grows.

Best of luck to the future reign of 2011!
