When Tanisha Merasty signed up for the Miss Saskatchewan World pageant the day before the event, she could have never anticipated it would lead her to a national stage.


“I just wanted some experience,” the 19-year-old previously told paNOW. But after taking the crown in Saskatoon this April, Merasty has been touring Toronto over the past week at the Miss World Canada completion in the city.


“It has been really, really good,” she said Friday. “I have met a lot of really interesting people and it has made a big impact on my life."


The young lady is new to the world of modelling and pageantry. Prior to the Saskatchewan event, she had never done a swimwear competition but had participated in a few interviews and was confident going in. This confidence has carried over to Toronto where she will take on 57 girls from across the country for the national title.


Merasty will score points in the completion based on more than just external beauty: conduct, poise, ambition, drive and leadership are all attributes the event judge. The winner will represent Canada at either Miss World, Miss Supranational, or Miss Intercontinental.


Her platform centres around mental health and anxiety which many, including herself, grapple with. The illness has taken a toll on her life, forcing her to push her high school graduation back one year.


“My anxiety was so bad that I couldn’t even walk in front of a classroom,” she said. “With modelling and pageants, it has helped me so much to the point where I can walk in front of everybody, millions of people, and not feel scared or nervous or anything.”


The Prince Albert girl said the pageant had a friendly atmosphere where “everybody was really down to Earth.” Her mother and grandmother drove from to Toronto to be with her.


Merasty gradated from Carlton Comprehensive Public High School this year and is set to attend MC College for esthetics this fall with hopes to pursue a business administration background later on and launch her own business in the beauty industry. She hopes her success will inspire other Indigenous youth to create opportunities for themselves and pursue their dreams.
