Her story

On February 1, 2003, about 500 spectators gathered at the University of Ottawa and watched in great excitement as the very first Miss Canada Pakistan, Miss Zehra Sheerazi, was crowned. The gorgeous and very intelligent young woman walked away with the crown, which recognized her as a role model for young Pakistani females around the world. She was well spoken, and carried herself gracefully. It is no doubt, that she charmed the entire audience, and of course, the judges.

In August 2004, Zehra traveled to Korea, along with contestants from all over the world, to compete in the Miss World University Pageant, where she not only represented Pakistan, but also Queen’s University. Although Zehra did not win the Miss World University Pageant crown, she did not walk away empty-handed. She was the sixth runner-up and given the Peace Ambassador Award. More over, it was the first time that a representative of Pakistan participated in the 16 year history of the show.
