Miss Earth Canada 2013 Sofiya Chorniy bio:

I am a 19 year old student studying Kinesiology, French, and am enrolled in the teacher’s program (Physical Education) at the University of Toronto. I am fluent in English and Ukrainian. I am almost fluent in French (because I am also minoring in French) and have studied it in Quebec, while living in Quebec City.

My goal is to become a French and Physical Education teacher in order to help children succeed in school and in all aspects of their lives.

I have a great passion for health, exercise, and the environment.

Currently I am striving towards completing my EcoMentors certification which will allow me to give presentations to schools about environmental topics and issues.

Having grown up always in a green environment – whether in Ukraine, where my cottage neighbours had cows and chickens, and we had a farm, or in Canada where almost everyday was spent at the park or the sort.

I believe exposure to nature is essential to human health, and for the environment’s health – as developing a bond with something assures that you will be more likely to protect it.

Lifelong learning benefits everyone – and the time to learn about and act on environmental information is now!

Denise Garrido and Riza Santos talk about Miss Universe Canada 2013 mistake (MUST SEE)

Unbelievable how they handled it so well:

MISS UNIVERSE CANADA ORG ASSUMES ERROR AND NEW WINNER IS ANNOUNCED: RIZA SANTOS!

"The 2013 Miss Universe Canada pageant took place on Saturday, May 25 at the St. Lawrence Centre for the Arts in Toronto. During the validation of the computerized scoring results (which occurs the following day), a typo was discovered in the top 5 entries, which significantly impacted the final results of the competition. This is the first instance of this type of error in the 11 years that Beauties of Canada (BOC) has produced the Miss Universe Canada pageant.

This is an unfortunate circumstance where a human error was made, and in such a situation, as difficult as it is, it is only right to correct the error. Therefore, the official results of Miss Universe Canada 2013 are as follows:

Miss Universe Canada 2013 ­ Riza Santos (Calgary, AB)

1st runner-up ­ Siera Bearchell (Moose Jaw, SK)

2nd runner-up ­ Diana Martin (Mississauga, ON)

3rd runner-up ­ Denise Garrido (Bradford, ON)

4th runner-up ­ Michelle McKay (Sarnia, ON)

We would like to offer our sincere apology to Denise Garrido for this human error discovered while validating the results. Miss Garrido’s example and grace represents all we look for at Miss Universe Canada. We have no doubt she will continue to succeed in her endeavours and we wish her well. We truly hope she remains a strong part of the Miss Universe Canada Organization.

Beauties of Canada congratulates Riza Santos as the winner of Miss Universe Canada 2013 competition, and looks forward to working with her as she prepares to represent our country at Miss Universe 2013. BOC would also like to congratulate all the runners-up on their proper placements at the pageant, as well as the other 52 extraordinary young women who competed for the title in Toronto."
