Leah Ryerse, a 19-year-old resident of Hamilton Ontario and the Canadian representative for the 2008 Miss World Competition, the largest beauty spectacular on the planet, has high hopes.

"I am thrilled to be a new ambassador for Canada," she said. "I have grown so much this year and trained very hard to be Canada's first Miss World." Canada has never won and Leah is hoping that she can make MWC proud and bring home the crown.

Miss World is the longest running major international pageant launched in Britain in 1951 by Eric Morley. The telecast of the final competition is the world's largest live annual beauty pageant television event with global viewers in more than 200 countries. Aside from raising millions of pounds for charities around the globe under the banner of its 'Beauty with a Purpose' program, Miss World is also credited with directly influencing a dramatic increase in tourism in Sanya, China, host of the Miss World finals from 2003-05. Canada no longer broadcasts this popular program.
