Ava is also probably one of the most organized people I have ever met! At any rate, she hopes to be a doctor one day and there is no doubt in my mind that this girl will be the top of her medical school class."

Diana is a business oriented kind of woman, she even has a full scholarship from TD Bank. Not only that, but Diana is a very kind and gentle person at heart- a true friend. Needless to say, she has it all: beauty, brains, and rhythm "

Jelena Pejic

Sandra's Tidbit: "What can I say, she’s my fellow Serbian girl!! Jelena was actually Miss Serbia and Montenegro back in 2004 when she represented her country at the Miss World pageant. Now Jelena is living in Canada and running for Miss Universe Canada. Jelena is smart, funny, outgoing, caring, creative, beautiful… naturally the list goes on, she is Serbian after all"

Jennifer Wheater



Age: 21
Height: 5'6''
Hometown: Oakville
Sandra's Tidbit: "The photographer turned supermodel, Jen is taking a new step in life and getting on the other side of the camera. And camera shy is one thing this girl is not! She is always ready to show off her great body and pretty smile. On a more intimate level, Jen is super friendly, loves to laugh, and very focused…. and not to get all Jersey Shore here… but she’s got a “sick tan.”"

Katie Starke



Age: 19
Height: 5'11''
Hometown: Uxbridge
Sandra's Tidbit: "Katie Starke… I love this girl! Where to begin? Well last year Katie was Miss Teen World Canada. She’s also a great model… you know 5’11, blonde hair, blue eyes. But don’t let those looks deceive you, as Katie is also a really good hockey player. She plays varsity at her university (York U), but she is currently taking some time off due to a concussion (yeah she’s tough like that LOL). Katie is very much an awesome girl to hang out with! "

Megan Franklin



Age: 25
Height: 5'9''
Hometown: St. Catharines
Sandra's Tidbit: "My fellow Niagaran! Megan is a professional wine condesour who decided to get involved in the field of beauty. There’s no doubt in anyone’s mind that she is beautiful, but she is also very sophisticated, intelligent, funny, and calm. Like most Niagarans, Megan rowed when she was younger, so you know this girl has ambition, passion, and tough skin."

Netasha Ramganesh



Age: 22
Height: 5'10''
Hometown: Brampton
Sandra's Tidbit: "Netasha is a sweetheart. She is so kind to everyone and someone you really know that you can trust. She always seems so genuinely happy, the kind of person you can tell is really going to enjoy life for all it is worth. Netasha is no stranger to pageants, as she also competed in Miss World Canada previous to Miss Universe Canada. Despite her success, Netasha always has a good head on her shoulders, and she is one of the most down-to-earth people I know."

Paisley McNab



Age: 18
Height: 5'8''
Hometown: Hamilton
Sandra's Tidbit: "Paisley is unique and one of the most interesting people you could ever meet. Whether she is talking to you about how she is a former Miss Teen Worldwide winner or her love of her Hindu religion- this girl will have you captivated with her conversation. That is really one thing I love about her- you can always have an interesting and meaningful conversation when you’re around Paisley."
