I did not think this would occur so soon but it is great to see our first 48-page issue, cover to cover with Gay and Lesbian content from Calgary. To accommodate the extra pages, some articles have been moved around in the magazine to new locations. In addition to layout changes, there are also more articles to read too. I hope that you will enjoy the new additions! More exciting things are still yet to come!

Coronation 2004

Congratulations to the newly elected Her Most Imperial Sovereign Majesty Empress XXVIII Erica Divine and His Most Imperial Sovereign Majesty Emperor XXVIII Alexander De Knight. About 4,000 photos were taken during Coronation week, and as soon as they have been sorted, you will find them online on the GayCalgary.com website alongside video footage from the events too. The newly elected Empress and Emperor have lots of events planned for the month of May, and the months to come. Make sure to make it out to some of their fund raising events.

Awards

I received an ISCCA Volunteer Appreciation Award during the night of the Coronation. I am always glad to help out the community as best as I can. I will add this award to my wall where I proudly display my President’s award from the Rainbow Lambda Society during 2001 to 2002, and also First Anniversary Commendations from the Calgary Eagle.

Pride Week 2004

This is the first of two issues that contain the official Pride Guide for 2004. Not all events are listed yet – there will be more added in the 2nd issue, but at least it’s a heads-up on what we know is happening.
