Prime Minister’s Message Good Evening, honoured Guests. The Imperial Sovereign Court of Atlantic Nova Society wishes you a warm welcome, and hopes that you enjoy Coronation XIV, and the step-down of Empress XIII BoomBoom Lubalicious and Emperor XIII Daddy Jozef at “A Night at the Asylum”. Tonight is the culmination of our thirteenth year of volunteering, entertaining and, most importantly, fundraising for our chosen charities. Each year presents its own challenges, and this year is no different. We took the decision to move tonight’s festivities from February to June, meaning that, not only would there be no snow on the ground (hopefully), but that our guests would be able to enjoy a little more of what makes Halifax such an amazing place to visit. The change, however, meant that this year was stretched to 16 months - meaning an extra 4 months of hard work and selfless volunteering by our Monarchs, Court and Board. Tonight, when you see us in action, we all make it look so easy. But those of us who have done this know just how hard, and sometimes thankless, a task it is - to put yourselves out there in the name of raising those few extra dollars. I won’t pretend that this year has been easy. Ensuring that all has been done, and everyone is OK takes a great deal of effort. But to enable us to do what we do, and to give away as much as possible is it’s own reward. finally, I owe Kevin Levere a huge apology. I am contrite for being a hypocrite. Forgive me? Enjoy the celebrations for Reign XIII and let’s look forward to Reign XIV In service
Bruce Crooks-Lubalicious Prime Minister to Reign XIII
Premier’s Message Greetings!! Welcome Your Majesties, Dignitaries, Courtiers and Honoured Guest. We are glad to have you in our fair city of Halifax, Nova Scotia and to Coronation XIV, for the stepping down of our current Reigning Monarchs, Their Most Imperial Sovereign Majesties, Daddy Jozef Lubalicious and Boom Boom Lubalicious. This has been an extended Reign of 16 months instead of the usual 12 months, and at times very trying to say the least but we have all managed to make it to the end successfully and knowing that good money was raised and good work was done for the chosen charities of Reign XIII as well as for the community at large. What an amazing 16 months this has been and I would like to thank all members of the board of ISCANS, for their extremely hard work that each of you did. Each taking on responsibilities and working together to make all things successful. Thank you again for all that you have done. To the Candidates, I wish you all the very best, and if elected, the most exciting Reign ahead of you. I encourage you to stand strong in your beliefs and morals and communicate well with your new board members and your ICP’s that you choose to work along with you. I know that you will stand strong in unity and represent Halifax, NS well as Good Will Ambassadors. Jozef and Boom, You both have done an amazing job over the past many months and I am so proud to have been a small part in helping with your successes. Trying as it may of been at times being it was an extended few months, both of you pulled together for the better good of the community and charities that you supported. It has been a privilege to have been able to take part in this journey. Once again, I would like to wish everyone a very enjoyable spring visit with us and to our grand city and to all the beauties it has to show you. In Service to Court, Crown and Community

It never amazes me more when I look back and see what this small court on the east coast of Canada can do! I am so proud of all of you and you all should take a bow. After that being said I should start by saying I am humbled by all of the people I had the pleasure of meeting and celebrating with over the last 14 years.

Imperial Crown Prince Greetings Everyone!! First of all, I am not sure of where to start lol. This has been an extended reign for our Emperor and Empress and to the eight ICP’s that they chose to work along with them during the many months to make this successful. I have counted it as a privilege to have been asked to be one of the four great guys on the male side to help even a little. If I said it was all fun and games, then you would know I was not telling the truth. A lot of very hard work went into everything that was done, rather it was the BBQ’s, sitting and roasting wieners and hamburgers, and nice big sausages or it was other fundraising events for our charities. Most of the time it was fun and the rewards come to you when you see the smiles of those you may of helped along the way. Congratulations to Jozef and Boom Boom for a job well done and having the patience with us and to guide us as well, along in this incredible journey. It has been an honor to have served as ICP XIII. Thank you to my fellow ICP’s for everything this past 16 months. For the New Monarchs, I want to wish you all the success in the world in your next 12 months! In service to the Court His Most Imperial Highness Imperial Crown Prince XIII Doug Bennett
Imperial Crown Princess Good Evening! They told me to write about “something or someone who has touched me”, All I can say is I touched myself a lot... Just kidding. Where do I start? I am inspired by all of my ICP’s this year, there all amazing and work so hard for what they believe in. Rouge inspires me daily, and Hex and Starr are just awesome, as well as all the men. It is hard to believe more than a year has passed already!! Props to the Emperor and Empress for doing an amazing job and keeping us all together. They truly are wonderful to take their free time and donate it to such a good cause. I cannot imagine doing this year with anyone other than you two, Jozef and Boom. I am sad it is coming to an end but I have faith in the next line up of beauties to fill our shoes!! To all of you who made this year count, keep it up and be yourself, Also, Happy Halloween!!! Xxx Her Imperial Sovereign Highness Imperial Crown Princess
