Spyke — Northlands 2026 candidate

Spyke

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!

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.

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

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.

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

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.
