The four finalists then walked the runway in the Coronation Eleganza, which decided the top two to face off in a lip-sync battle to Furtado’s song “Try.”
Venus is the first Indigenous queen to win Canada’s Drag Race, and walked away with the huge cash prize, a stunning crown and sceptre, and a huge pile of beauty supplies.
Fans of the Vancouver drag legend celebrated her monumental win on social media.
