Who Do I Contact?

In the SCA, there's a special office called "Chatelaine" just for welcoming newcomers. These people can tell you all about the SCA, get you started on making your own medieval garb or find you loaner garb if you can't get your own made in time (garb is a necessity if you plan on attending any SCA events) and introduce you to people who are knowledgeable and skilled in your particular areas of medieval interest.

Here are the local Chatelaines for Eastern Ontario and the Ottawa area:

Roibeard of Eire, CaldrithigChatelaine@skraelingalthing.com, Chatelaine for the Canton of Caldrithig (Ottawa area)

TH Baron James the Mercer, Chatelaine@skraelingalthing.com, Chatelaine for the Barony of Skraeling Althing (Eastern Ontario)

The SCA - Who Are We And What Do We Do?:

The Society for Creative Anachronism is a group dedicated to researching and recreating the period of time between 600 AD and 1600-1650 AD, as it was experienced in Western Europe (minus all the "nasty bits" like plagues, inquisitions, fleas, rats, famines, etc).

The SCA was started in Berkeley, California in May 1966 by a group of science fiction and fantasy fans who wanted a theme party. Since then, the idea has spread all over the world. There are currently over 25,000 people on the official mailing list, but approximately four times that many regularly participate in Society activities and the number is still growing!
