Reign 52 Monarchs

In March 2025, Emperor Zachary David Foxx and Empress Alter were voted in to represent Vancouver as the newly elected monarchs for Reign 53 of Vancouver BC. Together, with their team of volunteers, they serve the community as courtiers who assist in running the year’s social and fundraising efforts. Importantly, each and every individual involved with the DMS donates 100 per cent of their time so that as much money as possible can go directly to the charities.

Their objective is to foster community connections, making sure that everyone regardless of age, gender, identity or expression feels represented, seen and heard with this years motto: GUIDED BY TRUE NORTHE, in honour of the Founder of the Canadian Court System, Empress of Canada, Ted northe.
