We invite those in attendance to challenge our panel and ask the questions that have gone unanswered up until now.

Come prepared, do your homework, research any or all of the names below and have your specific questions ready.
Our panel will include:
The Dominants
Master Chuck Once a boy, Master Chuck at 50 now lives his life, 24/7, as the patriarch of his very large multi generational Leather Family that combines HOT play, daily life and growth. There is never a dull moment. As a covered Master he holds himself to a high standard of integrity, manifesting itself in the basic traditional Old Guard principles of Honour, Trust, and Respect. To him, submission is a precious gift that Doms should accept with humility, then use BDSM as a tool to reach the subs inner core as they embrace their submission. He gives back to and helps develops his community through high level activism and with the educational seminars he delivers. Master Chuck is proud to represent his community as Eastern Canada LeatherSIR 2011
Master Peter After growing up on a working ranch in Southern Alberta, Peter simply changed one kind of chaps for another.
