"Our motto is to 'be your own kind of beautiful' and that is reflected in every sense of the word," says Michelle Weswaldi, Director of Miss Teen Canada-World. "It takes a lot more than a pretty smile to win the contest. It takes, brains, confidence and leadership."

Weswaldi prides the pageant on its resonating core values like charitable involvement, personal growth and leadership, all mixed with a healthy dose of competition. Recognizing the sometimes-warranted negative stigma attached to pageants, Miss Teen Canada-World is committed to setting the highest standards of competition compared to other pageant systems. As a result, Miss Teen Canada-World is Canada's most recognized competition of its kind.
