Nobleton's Bianca Catracchia will represent Toronto in the Miss Earth Canada pageant that will take place in Montreal this August. She finished first March 29 at the Miss Earth Ontario pageant, competing against seven others who were vying for the title. As the number-one finisher, she moves on to the national level. The event has an environmental theme and her 2.5-minute speech this year dealt with air pollution. “I still feel like I'm dreaming,” she said. “March 29 was a life-altering moment.” She also earned the honours for Miss Congeniality, Best swim suit, Best evening gown and Miss Entrepreneur. A pageant contestant since she was 18, Catracchia is enthusiastic about this event and the cause it represents. She's been an advocate, helping the next generation learn about the importance of the environment, recycling, our landfill situation and the need to reduce our use of plastic bottles. “There are no words to express how passionate I am about this,” she said. The pageants, she said, are much more than glitz and glamour. They are a means for young women to build camaraderie, friendships for life and self-esteem. In this “sisterhood,” many become ambassadors and spokespeople for various causes. Catracchia has some other prestigious honours to her credit, including competing in Miss Universe Canada and Miss World Canada events. Catracchia is happy to speak to youngsters and engage them about environmental issues.
