THE SEARCH IS ON FOR THE NEW MISS CANADA PLUS 2009!

Toronto, Ontario- - The Miss Canada Plus Pageant (MCPP) is currently auditioning for contestants; searching for that special, curvy young woman who will be crowned “Miss Canada Plus” 2009. The pageant is themed

“Dancing like the Stars... Mind, Body and Soul.”

The Miss Canada Plus Pageant Organization (MCPP) founded by its president Glenora Joseph, has helped revolutionize the way curvy women are viewed in the fashion and beauty industries. This unique event produces dynamic, career-minded, articulate and driven ambassadors for the plus size woman.

MCPP President, Glenora Joseph says the Pageant is designed to reinforce the self-esteem, image and diversity of plus size women. “Our theme is ‘Dancing like the Stars...Mind, Body and Soul’. Each person is a complex mix of characteristics, qualities, behaviours, and talents; no one can be summed up by one trait. Being healthy is three dimensional. Using their minds, bodies and souls helps these young women discover the depth of their true selves, while feeling great from within, no matter their size, shape or stature.”

10 contestants between the ages of 18-28, size 14+ and up, will undergo two months of “life changing” skills training workshops, before competing in the 2009 contest.

MCPP attracts an impressive slate of sponsors including new media online sponsor Kanrocktv.com. Other sponsors include Penningtons, Addition Elle, Genesis Collections, Dove, House of Lorraine, Avocation, Obsessions, Perfect Travel Inc.

Part Proceeds from the 2009 Miss Canada Plus Pageant will be donated to a charitable organization.
