February 6, 2009 12:26 PM - Mississauga's Bonnie Casey has been chosen as a national finalist for Miss World Canada 2009.
The 23-year-old university student will compete against 47 other contestants from across the country at the Miss World Canada pageant March 21 at Toronto's St. Lawrence Centre for the Arts.
If Casey wins that title, she will compete on the world stage at a pageant in South Africa in the fall.
"I'm excited to be in the competition and look forward to it," she said. "This is the first time I have applied to be in a pageant and chose this one because I believe in the motto."
The motto of the Miss World pageant is 'Beauty With a Purpose,' and over the last 25 years more than $400 million has been raised from the event for children's charities around the world.
Casey, who lives in the Square One area, says she will use her singing ability in the talent portion of the pageant. She regularly sings jazz, blues and contemporary. She also enjoys writing, working out and modeling.
A political science student at York University, Casey works part time at the Royal Bank. She hopes to have a career in broadcast journalism.
Casey says she is described by her friends as vibrant, outspoken and caring, as well as being a 'social butterfly.'
She said representing Mississauga, as well as being of Jamaican/Irish heritage, has given her an eclectic feel for the diverse reality that is Canada.
Online voting begins Feb. 10 at www.missworldcanada.com
The winner of online voting will receive the 'viewers' choice' award that takes that person directly into the pageant's semi-finals.
