Canada : An Indo-Canadian girl, who is a first-year nursing student at the University of Windsor, has won the prestigious crown of Miss Canada 2014.
On Saturday, 18-year-old Priya Madaan competed against 18 other finalists from across Canada, held in her hometown Montreal.
“I was so surprised when my name was called and they crowned me. It’s still such a shock to me. I can’t believe I’m Miss Canada,” said Madaan. She said she was proud of her accomplishment because she feels the competition is more about personality than beauty. “I learned more about the organisation and realised it’s a personality-based competition and it’s not based on beauty at all,” she said.
“Being onstage is the greatest feeling in the world so I think I want to continue on doing more pageants later on, but this year I just want to focus on reigning my title as Miss Canada 2014,” she said.
Madaan who is a high achiever in academics, also actively volunteers in the Heart and Stroke Foundation as well as the Canadian World Education Foundation. She is also part of the Punjabi Students Association.
