The 72nd annual Miss Universe Canada Pageant will be held at the River Rock Casino and Resort theatre in Richmond, British Columbia. Over 50 delegates from across Canada will be in Richmond and Vancouver from August 12th to August 20th and will compete for the title of Miss Universe Canada 2023 awarded on Saturday, August 19th 2023.

The reigning Miss Universe Canada 2022 Amelia Tu from Vancouver, British Columbia will assist in crowning the new titleholder before a live audience.

With an established reputation, the River Rock Casino and Resort Theatre has been chosen to be the host venue for the 2023 Miss Universe Canada pageant for the first time.

The pageant consists of two separate audience attended events:

Pageant Presentation Show (Thursday, August 17th 2023)
All 50+ delegates from across Canada will compete before a live audience and a judging panel in the traditional categories (Swimwear and Evening Gown) for the chance to be selected as one of the Judges’ 15 semi-finalists. In addition, the 5 segment winners will be joining the group of semi-finalists for a chance to win the title.

Miss Universe Canada 2023 Pageant Finale Show (Saturday, August 19th 2023)
The top 20 semi-finalists from Thursday’s Pageant Presentation Show will compete for the title of Miss Universe Canada 2023 in front of a judging panel as well as our live audience in the traditional categories (Swimwear and Evening Gown), plus the addition of a live interview/question and answer segment. However, all 50+ delegates will be involved in production numbers throughout the show.

‘Beauties of Canada’ has the exclusive rights to send a Canadian representative to the Miss Universe Pageant and this year marks Beauties of Canada’s 21st production of this National event.
