Angel

View Bio

I'm a 29 year old pup, new to the community but very enthusiastic! I'm an artist, mainly working with either pen and paper or digital painting. I'm also learning to sew and modify clothes, as I have a big interest in fashion and self expression. I have two cats, and I love animals so much!! I love attending concerts and shows, live music is a very big comfort of mine. I also am a huge film nerd, and love going to the theatre. I have a collection of movie tickets that starts all the way back in 2002. Horror is my favourite genre, and I love how horror and comedy play into each other. Getting more into photography and film is a dream of mine! I love going for walks, and playing catch. Being a puppy is who I am, I love to have fun and make friends, as much as I also enjoy my alone time and nap times.

Spyke — Northlands 2026 candidate

Spyke

View Bio

Hi! I'm Spyke !!! a silly Dalmatian pup who firmly believes that being perfectly imperfect is way more fun than pretending to have it all figured out.

Over the years, I've had the chance to organize events, create educational projects, and somehow convince people that barking into a microphone can occasionally be a respectable form of public speaking. But what truly drives me is building bridges between communities, creating spaces where everyone feels welcome, and reminding people that curiosity, kindness, and consent can go a long way.

Whether you're brand new, a longtime member of the community, or just wondering what all the barking is about, my goal is always the same: help create safer spaces where people can connect, learn, laugh, and unapologetically be themselves.

Can't wait to see you all !

Pup Brie

Hi! I’m Brie! The cheesiest pup this side of Canada! I love attending events, meeting new friends, connecting with existing friends, and learning new things about the community and surrounding communities. I may be almost a year in to the community but I have such a strong passion for making everyone feel welcome and safe wherever I go! I tell everyone that Pup Brie came to me in a dream, literally! I had a dream that I attended an event and everyone referred to me as Brie and having the overwhelming sense of belonging made me realize that this may be something for me to explore. And I’m very happy I did and that this dream has become a reality! I can’t wait to show everyone what I can accomplish and give to the community!

Mistress Layla Lux — Northlands 2026 candidate

Mistress Layla Lux

View Bio

I don’t ask for control I take it because it’s willingly given. I am Layla Lux the woman who sees beneath the surface, the one who recognizes the quiet hunger to surrender responsibility, to obey, to belong. My presence is calm, my expectations are clear, and my authority is absolute within the boundaries we choose together.

A man in my care learns that discipline is a privilege. Every command has purpose. Every act of obedience builds trust. His greatest strength is not resisting me—it is choosing, again and again, to place his confidence in my hands.

Sir Napoleon — Northlands 2026 candidate

Sir Napoleon

View Bio

I have been part of Montréal’s pet play community since its earliest days more than a decade ago. I helped advocate for the official recognition of pup and pet play and took part in the city’s first puppy event. As Montréal’s handler, I have long worked to show that this dynamic can be emotional, communicative, and fulfilling beyond sex. I created the original Pup Meet at Le Stud (later the 5@7), developed a non-verbal obedience course with Kylvan so people with hearing or visual disabilities can fully participate, and have led workshops at Opalace and Tension while continuing to host inclusive pet play nights.

What first drew me in was the pure joy of connecting without words — reading eyes and building trust. After years of quiet work behind the scenes, I am ready to step forward, represent this community with strength and warmth, and help it grow even more open and connected.

Master BLACKKREST — Northlands 2026 candidate

Master BLACKKREST

View Bio

I'm Michel, also known as Master BLACꓘKREST. I am a proud Handler to one Alpha pup and one Beta pup, and I'm also fortunate to be dating a Sigma pup. My journey in the Handler community has taught me that leadership isn't about control—it's about trust, respect, guidance, and helping others become the best version of themselves.

I'm passionate about building stronger connections within our community and promoting open conversations around mental health, mentorship, and personal growth. I'm currently developing a podcast that will give members of the LGBTQ+ and kink communities a welcoming space to share their stories, experiences, and the challenges they've overcome.

I'm running for Northlands Canada Handler because I believe visibility matters. I want to represent our community with integrity, compassion, humour, and authenticity while encouraging others to lead by example and support one another. Together, we create a stronger, more inclusive community where everyone has the opportunity to thrive.

Rubber Canada Crest

BP — Northlands 2026 candidate

BP

View Bio

I’m a Canadian-raised kinkster and have been a proud member of the Toronto kink community for the past six years. As a BIPOC, sex-positive, kink-positive, and queer-friendly community member, I believe in fostering welcoming, inclusive spaces where people can explore their authentic selves without judgment.

I’m an active participant in the community, regularly attending multiple munches each month, volunteering at a variety of kink, queer, and rubber events, and helping plan and manage gatherings that bring people together. Community building, education, and mentorship are at the heart of my involvement.

I first entered the community searching for a place where I truly belonged—a space where I could express myself freely and feel comfortable in my own skin. That experience inspired me to help others find the same sense of acceptance and connection. Over the years, I’ve introduced and welcomed many newcomers into the community, offering guidance to those curious about kink, answering questions, and helping them navigate everything from their first events to selecting and properly fitting their first fetish gear, with a particular passion for rubber.

Rubber is more than just a material to me—it’s a form of self-expression and confidence that I wear with pride. Whether I’m mentoring newcomers, volunteering behind the scenes, or connecting with friends at events, my goal is to help strengthen and grow an inclusive, supportive community where everyone has the opportunity to feel seen, respected, and empowered.

Zen — Northlands 2026 candidate

Zen

View Bio

Hi, my name is Zen, I am a shy, curious, and excitable rubber gimp that LOVES to wear rubber. I enjoy drinking coffee, love to sing and dance, play games and hang out with friends. I started my rubber journey back in 2014 and I’ve been into the shiny material for over 10 years of my life.

In 2020 I started creating content and go by the name, Alzentai91 on Instagram. I’ve been showing rubber on my profile, but I enjoy collaborating with other content creators of the same interest, coming up with creative ways of displaying rubber together. It’s important to share the beauty of rubber and all its shine. The look, the feel, the smell, the taste, and even the sound it makes.

I’ve only recently started getting back into local events again by attending community and social events, such as Rubber Sluts, GLUE nights, and the more recent one, Toronto Rubber Network also known as TORN. In meeting and talking to the organizers of these events, it has given me the encouragement and from the support of my friends and followers on my social to move forward by participating for Northlands Canadian’s Fetish Title of Rubber Canada.

I am currently in my undergrad in Environmental Engineering at the University of Guelph, and would like to build a career working with indigenous communities to develop drinking water infrastructure. I have been involved with the Toronto leather community for about a year and a half and am looking forward to expanding my network within the Canadian and international leather community.

Sir Angel Heaven — Northlands 2026 candidate

Sir Angel Heaven

View Bio

Angel Heaven. I love to laugh, have fun, and above all, never do things “the way they’re supposed to be done.” For me, everything starts with an idea: reinventing, reimagining, and pushing the boundaries of what seems possible. Creativity is the driving force behind every project I take on, whether it involves construction, sewing, or an entirely different kind of challenge.

Just as comfortable working with leather as I am looking sharp in a metrosexual style, I naturally move between two worlds. A Gemini at heart, I embrace both a wild, spontaneous, slightly unconventional side and a more traditional, grounded, and thoughtful one.

From this duality comes someone who is simple in his complexity — a man who refuses to be put in a box, prefers nuance, and moves through life with curiosity, authenticity, and a smile never far away.

Cami — Northlands 2026 candidate

Cami

View Bio

I’m Cami (she/her) from Nova Scotia, and I’ve been part of the BDSM and alternative lifestyle community for about five years. I love the freedom, the people, and being able to express myself without having to fit into a box.

Burlesque is also a big part of who I am. Performing has helped me build confidence, meet amazing people, and become more involved in the community.

Running for Leather Canada is a new challenge for me and a chance to keep learning, meeting people, and representing the East Coast. I’m excited to see where this journey takes me, and maybe one day, onto an international leather stage.

Scotty Hotty — Northlands 2026 candidate

Scotty Hotty

View Bio

My name is ScottyHotty, and I have been part of Vancouver’s fetish, kink, and sex-positive community for more than 15 years.

Like many people, my journey began through personal curiosity and a desire to connect with others who shared similar interests and values. What I discovered was much more than fetish—it was a community built on consent, trust, authenticity, and acceptance. Those values inspired me to become more involved and eventually take on a leadership role within the community.

Over the years, I founded PLUR Productions and have dedicated myself to creating events and spaces where people can safely explore, socialize, learn, and express themselves without judgment. Through hundreds of events, I have worked to bring together members of the fetish, BDSM, leather, queer, burner, and alternative lifestyle communities while promoting consent, inclusion, and community connection.

What motivates me most is seeing people find confidence, friendships, and a sense of belonging. Whether someone is attending their very first event or has been active for decades, I believe everyone deserves to feel welcomed and respected.

Today, my focus remains on strengthening our community, supporting education and mentorship, and creating opportunities for people to connect in meaningful ways. The fetish community has given me lifelong friendships, purpose, and a place to call home, and I am passionate about giving back to the community that has given so much to me.
