Message from the Chair of the Executive Committee On behalf of The Executive Committee of The Imperial Court of Toronto and Their Most Imperial Sovereign Majesties, Emperor XXII Hunter James and Empress XXII Ms. Tiffany LouiseCharles, I would like to extend to you a warm welcome to The City of Toronto and the Heaven On Earth Coronation Ball. This year, Their Majesties have chosen Toronto PWA Foundation Food Programs and The 519 Community Center Capital Fund, as their Charities of Choice. These two deserving organization will be the beneficiaries of funds raised this year by The Court. Historically, during hard times, those most in need are first forgotten. The Imperial Court of Toronto did not forget. We put forth an aggressive fundraising agenda locally and toward the Corporate Establishment. Thankfully each produced. This is our breakthrough Corporate Year. We welcome aboard as Corporate Sponsors Labbat , Polar Ice, Proud FM, Bank of Montreal and welcome back platinum Sponsor, i-travel 2000. Her Majesty took the lead on this project and deserves credit for much of the success. Our People‘s Empress was really our Corporate Empress in Beautiful disguise. Between Corporate and Community Fundraising, we have raised record funds to turn over to Our Charities. Congratulations to The Membership, The Performers, The Volunteers and The Supporters and of course, The Monarchs. Great job! This is our twenty-third Coronation. Tonight, Empress III, Dawn Valley Parkway will perform her Double Decade Honour Walk. My eyes adore her. Time can be a great healer. We can be cruel and critical in this game we play, but in the end all is forgiven when we come together and unite to take care of Our Community. Empress XVIII and XIX Madame continued her generous support, raising over $3000 and Maria Del Monte once again donated her considerable talent. Special thanks to Emperor Hunter James for putting himself out there and spreading the news that TICOT was working for the Community. What Makes an Empress Memorable? I was told she must have ―The Wow Factor,‖ plus Eloquence, Integrity, Confidence, Intelligence, and a unique Stage Presence. Ms. Tiffany Louise-Charles, you have them all. On behalf of The Imperial Court of Toronto and myself, thank you for sharing a year of your life with us! Enjoy the evening. May you enjoy old friends and make new relationships that will last for a lifetime. HIH Prince of the Realm, Mr. George Pratt

Message From Empress Nicole The Great | Queen Mother Of The Americas Message from the Queen Mother of the Americas May I wish each and every one of you my best regards and good wishes for a grand and momentous evening at the 23rd Annual Coronation of The Imperial Court of Toronto. I especially like your theme this year: “Heaven on Earth” as it fits well with the Renaissance Era of the International Court System, as we bring rebirth to our Kingdoms while we celebrate our diverse histories. I am most humbly sorry that I am not able to join you this evening as my political responsibilities are overwhelming with The March on Washington, the same day as your Coronation. Try as I might – I just cannot be in two places at once! The March on Washington is something that I strongly believe in, support and have given my time and energy whole-heartedly. No more can we stand by the sidelines and ―think‖ and ―speak‖ and ―argue‖ but rather now is the time that we must ―act‖ and ―do‖ and ―demand‖. No more half measures; no more promises; now is the time for action. We demand the dignity and equality that our brothers and sisters so readily enjoy in the great Nation of Canada. You will all be in my thoughts and prayers this weekend, as I extend my warmest congratulations to your Monarchs, TMISM Emperor XXII Hunter James and Empress XXII Ms. Tiffany Louise-Charles. You have both achieved a successful reign – you are a testament to the Toronto Court and to the integrity and longevity of the International Court System. Your charities, The Toronto PWA Foundation Food Programs ( Food For Life) and The 519 Church Street Community Center Capital Fund, are most fortunate to have had such dedicated monarchs to raise funds and awareness for their causes. With longevity comes history, and I so happy to see you celebrating those who have come before us. Congratulations to those celebrating Decade Walks: TMISM Emperor XIII Bob Toane and Empress XIII Ellie Vador and Double Decade, TMISM Emperor III Chas and Empress Dawn Valley Parkway! I especially want to thank Dawn Valley, who served as my Heir for the early part of my reign – your contribution to the Council was most important – and I am grateful for having the opportunity to get to know you. Please know that your efforts were appreciated! I would once again like to take this opportunity to extend a hand of friendship to mr. ted northe, Empress of Canada. I extend my heartfelt wishes to you, my dear friend. May God Bless and grant you many more years of serving the community you love so much – the great Nation of Canada! Long live the Monarchy! Long live José! Empress Nicole the Great Queen Mother of the Americas Canada * Mexico * U.S.A. City Commissioner, City of San Diego National Board Member, National Gay & Lesbian Task Force (NGLTF)

Message From Mr. ted northe | Empress of Canada

Message From Chair of The College of Monarchs Greetings and Salutations to all Monarchs and visiting Dignitaries. On Behalf of the College of Monarchs Council, I extend a warm welcome to Toronto, and to Coronation XXIII. As Chair of the College of Monarchs Council, I have been truly blessed to be able to work alongside with H.I.M. Empress II Veronica Blake as Vice Chair, and H.I.M Emperor XX Dave Beauchamp as Secretary. Further to the above the members of the College of Monarchs Council have contributed endlessly to the successes of the Council. Congratulations are extended to the membership of The Imperial Court of Toronto, The Executive and Our Monarchs TMISM Emperor XXII Hunter James, and Empress XXII Miss Tiffany-Louise Charles. The dedication and steadfastness of our Monarchs has brought us to the culmination of the year and this celebration of a Reign’s commitment and achievement. As with every reign, the road is not always the golden road one imagines, during a period of adjustment and familiarization, it takes people of character and stamina and true altruistic conviction to overcome tribulations that at first seem to be insurmountable, however with clear leadership and determination, all things now seem effortless and the Charities of Choice; PWA Food For Life and the 519 Church Street Community Centre may now benefit the reward of this reign’s determination. The future of the Court System depends and relies on the ability to move forward, accept change and direct our energies enabling our philosophies to reach further, without the compromise of our histories and traditions. Division of self due to outcome of events only hinders the collective effort of our Courts’ and their respective members. The College of Monarchs wishes to Congratulate our anniversary Monarchs; Celebrating Their Decade Anniversaries are H.I.M. Emperor VI &XIII Bob Toane and H.I.M. Empress XIII Ellie Vader. Celebrating Her Double Decade Anniversary, H.I.M. Empress III Dawn Valley Parkway. I take this opportunity to extend to Their Majesties a sincere and heartfelt thank you for your contributions to the successes of The Imperial Court of Toronto. Congratulations and best of luck to both candidates whom wish to continue to serve our community as Empress XXIII, the road you choose is not an easy one, but an honourable one, allowing you to grow & learn as you serve the Empire that is The Imperial Court of Toronto. We are here to assist you in your journey. In Service to the Crown and Community, HIM The Golden Winged Sapphire Lion Emperor, Emperor XVI XVIII XIX of The Imperial Court of Toronto Nelson Jeronimo Chair, College of Monarchs Council

Message from Emperor XXII Hunter James Greetings Honoured Guests and Courtiers, As an average gay boy in the ―big city‖ in the 80‘s, I was heavily involved and working within the Fashion and Art communities. It was not necessarily the norm to get involved locally at the grassroots level and try to make positive change in people‘s lives. Seeing my doctor for some minor health issues, I was told that I had just passed through a serious illness and although I could NOT carry it again, I would have to stay home from work for a few weeks as I would be going through some very challenging times while my body recovered. Among other things, I become jaundiced and suffered a great deal of debilitating pain for those few weeks. Since I was no longer out and about at the ―right‖ parties or clubs, almost all those whom I saw as friends and acquaintances seemed to quickly turn away. The rumours flew. Boy, did they fly. Being the early days of HIV and AIDS in Toronto, it seemed to be the general tone that most of the stories took, with little regard for the truth, was that I was HIV positive and at Death‘s Door. Although I wasn‘t HIV positive, I still felt a great amount of betrayal, pain and abandonment. It made me wonder how much worse that could be if you knew you were actually very sick and you felt recovery was unlikely. (Remember, this is the early days!) As soon as I was healthy and back on my feet, I went to Casey House and arranged a meeting with Jim Wakeford. Determined to be a part of the solution and help build our community, I joined the earliest of Casey House‘s fundraising teams and my career in Community Activism began. I have worked with many organizations over the years as I found my skill sets changing and becoming more effective in different ways. Whether it is Health issues, Pride organizations or issues of Diversity, Poverty or Housing, I have always found a way to help to the best of my ability and be able to make a difference. I can say I am proud of the time and effort that I have put into my own community and the larger communities of Ontario and Canada. While I was aware of the Court from its early days, I was only involved peripherally as a corporate sponsor of events and Candidates. While we did have a great time when we would buy a table for Pink Trillium events, coronations or just a good show, it never crossed my mind that I would some day be applying for and becoming Emperor. It was not until I met Morgan James that I became involved with the International Court System in a very direct way. I had no idea that my life would be changed so much. She made me drink the Kool-Aid and I haven‘t looked back. Here in Toronto, as we are moving toward Reign 23, I find myself in a wonderful position as Emperor. I know that as a group we have done some very important building of TICOT‘s profile and professional reputation over the last few year and that we, as an organization, must not drop the ball now. We must continue on course with Monarchs (and Executives) with professional attitudes and abilities. If we continue to build the faith and trust of our community and make every effort to ensure that the organization builds bridges to be as inclusive and welcoming as possible, we can only continue to make great strides. It is a time to stand on the shoulders of those who have gone before and continue to build while never forgetting that the Membership and Community at large is the greatest strength we have. We must provide a fun and encouraging environment for inclusion, participation and growth. Our organization includes many different people. Some who like to perform and we should be nurturing that; bringing in newer performers and facilitating growth and providing mentorship for them. There are people who want to be a part of TICOT but may not want the spotlight and they have great skills and enthusiasm.

We need these people just as much. We need to learn to appreciate the people who want to sell tickets, or sit at the door, help with marketing or do the hundreds of other thankless tasks that are needed. Some have backgrounds in corporate, community or other work or just want to assist in any way needed. All members should be respected as equal partners working towards the same goal. I want to thank you ALL for your contributions to this Reign, no matter how small. It has not gone unnoticed. I believe that there is work to still be done within our organization. I do not believe in change for change‘s sake and we must make every effort to ensure that the history and lineage of TICOT is respected in any endeavor we take on. The opportunity to represent TICOT, the larger Toronto community and the International Court System is a responsibility that I do and will continue to take seriously. With such great work done in the past it can only take one wrong step to do damage that can take years to overcome. I believe we must always be careful to make sure ego is not the reason for someone wanting to reign or join our organization. A Monarch must serve and not simply expect to be served. We must also ensure that any potential Monarch has not only put time into the Community but into TICOT. We must ensure we support those who are willing to do the work needed to continue our success and keep TICOT growing in a positive, professional and community serving way. I appreciate the opportunity to be able to be a continuation of a history and lineage of excellence in community building and service. Thank you to The Imperial Court of Toronto for allowing me to serve this year as Emperor. Thank you to everyone who gave me a family name, title or award this year. I would list them all but this letter is long enough! Thank you for taking the time to let me know that I mean something to each of you.

Message from The Imperial Crown Prince | HIH Mick Petitpas Vanderbilt CBT Good Evening and welcome to Toronto and Coronation XXIII: The Heaven on Earth Ball. I hope that you all have a great time in our fair city and check out some of the sights we have to offer. This year has been an incredible journey for me. Although I did not travel as much as I would have liked to, I did manage to get around and not only meet some wonderful new people but rekindle some old friendships. I attended my first out of town coronation this year, lo and behold it was Buffalo who popped that cherry. What a way to start!! Chris & Vanity: Your hospitality was graciously appreciated I had a wonderful time at your ball and in your city. Toy (we‘ll always have Hamilton..lol), Coco, Luis (I will pronounce your name correctly someday; the French in me is tough to get out) I am glad to have finally met my facebook friends and you truly are as wonderful as I thought and look forward to a long friendship. Hamilton was the second ball for me and another great evening, Krystopher & Monroe: I was thrilled to be at your ball and had a great time. Robert: always as gracious as ever. John: nice to see you again and I hope your happy here in Toronto. To all my old buds and new friends I‘ve made thorough my years in the court, always nice to see you and it was a blast partying with you on your own turf for a change. London: What can I say? You are all great people. I‘m so sorry I had to miss your ball but circumstances required me to stay home that weekend, I was there in spirit though and congratulations on a job well done. Tom and Suzanne: I look forward to a great year with both of you! I have also had the pleasure of getting to know a few of the Monarchs, past, present and future from the other courts. Spice, Boycub Joey, Gabriel, Marni Gras, Nikki, Amanda-Lynn, and so many more: You all have shown me the path to success…. And now for my Home Court! Hunter: I was proud to have been chosen as your Imperial Crown Prince and honoured to have stood by your side all year! We have accomplished a lot and even more so a friendship that will last through the ages, I have learned a lot from you as to what it takes to make an Emperor and will carry this year in my heart. Tiffany; You carried yourself with grace all year and I was proud to be on your arm whenever the opportunity arose. Charo: thank you for a wonderful year and I hope all goes well for you in the future. Morgan: from the first shot of Tequila to the last, I have had a blast. Thank you for all you have done not only for me but for the Community. Your tireless effort is what keeps us strong. My Mistress Dusty: I miss our early morning conversations but have had the pleasure of your friendship through the year and thank you for being there for me when I needed you. You are a truly special girl and know that one day you will make an Empress full of Grace, Style and F.U.N.! To my buddies, Corey, Colin (I have to pass it on now), Jason, Shaun, Rob, Carlotta: you were a lot of fun to hang with and I will treasure the friendship we have made, Clint and Sadie: a couple of our newest members, you‘ve raised the bar, Outstanding! My BBF Barry: thanks for just listening when I needed to rant and for just being there. Candice: You rock girl! Thanks for everything you‘ve done this year - you truly are the hardest working drag queen in captivity!! If I‘ve not mentioned you by name, it just means I‘ve run out of room. Your

contributions are none the less as important and know that I consider all of you dear friends. I also have to thank everyone who works behind the scenes, without them it would be impossible to accomplish what we do each year, from the barstaff to the set up crew and DJ‘s THANK YOU!! George: Thank you for opening up your bar to us once again rain or shine you are fabulous! Woody’s, Café California, Zelda’s, Gladaman’s Den: thank you for everything you‘ve done for us, your contributions to our efforts are much appreciated and never forgotten. To the Executive: it was a pleasure working with you this year, through it all we did accomplish a lot. Our Corporate Sponsors: itravel2000, BMO Financial Group, Polar Ice, Labatt‘s, Proud FM 103.9 Your contributions are what make everything go so smoothly, Thank you from all of us! Finally to my life partner, Steve Roseland. You have been my rock through this reign, have stood beside me no matter what and have supported me in anything I‘ve done without judgment or prejudice and for that I have to say thank you! In one month we will be celebrating not only our 26th year together but our first wedding anniversary and I have never loved you as much as I do now. You will always be the brightest star in the heavens.

I remain in service now and always H.M.I.H. The Black Diamond Double Dragon ICP Imperial Crown Prince to Reign XXII Mick Petitpas Vanderbilt, CBT Mr. Charity International VI, 2009

Message from The Imperial Crown Princess | HIH Charo Batista Welcome Honored Guests, I would like to welcome everyone to the great diverse city of Toronto and for joining us as we complete the 22nd reign of TICOT and enter the 23rd. This year I‘ve had an amazing opportunity to be a part of TICOT. Due to the fight I‘ve had this year with Cancer, unfortunately I was unable to attend all events and wasn‘t always there when needed to stand by my Empress Ms. Tiffany Louise-Charles. To everyone that has worked hard and I mean HARD this year for a successful 22nd reign: Job well done! Ron Gullis: Thanks for your love and support, and for reminding me never to give up. Michelle DuBarry: Thank you for your sweet love and support. Diet Pepsi: Thank you for all your time and devotion this year. Dusty Balfour: Girl work it! Thank you for always being you, and all that you‘ve done for us. Carlotta Carlisle: Girl... Thank you for being there and for always wearing bigger hair than me.

You both have been by my side and held my hand as I walked through hard times. Your love has taught me perseverance and strength. Love you both. To my partner and soulmate Nuno: Once again you have shown me that love concours all. Thanks for keeping me focused. You have taught me to always push harder even though I was weak. You never let me forget to always except the very best and to always believe in myself. Because of you I‘ve learned to respect and cherish life, with out you I don‘t think I would be here. Know that I will always love you and will never forget what you and your family have done for me. To my Mom and Family: Thank you for walking down this road with me. I appreciate your acceptance and belief in me. Love you all. And now a moment to thank my Empress Ms. Tiffany Louise-Charles. It has been a privilege to be a part of your reign and to stand by your side. I have tremendous respect for you and for that I bow before you tonight. We both know that this year has not been a smooth road but your strength has shown me the way. I apologize for not being able to always be there for you and my community, but you always understood and reminded me that health comes first. Thank you for always believing in me and never turning your back even

though pressure was there to do so. I look up to you for showing me that no matter what, dreams can come true. Look at you... here you are stepping down tonight after a great year, with all of your hard work and accomplishments you have definitely raised the bar for all Empresses to come. I wish you all the best from here on out. I thank you and solute you, your Majesty. To all my fans and friends that I have not mentioned, know that you are not forgotten. Thank you for always being there. Love you always. We stand united before you this evening to celebrate Heaven On Earth.
