'''Miss Universe Canada''' or ''The Beauties of Canada'' is an annual national [[beauty pageant]] that selects Canada's official representative to [[Miss Universe]]—one of the [[Big Four beauty pageants]]
The Beauties of Canada Organization gained the exclusive rights to send a [[Canadians|Canadian]] representative to the Miss Universe Pageant in 2002. The company President is Nicaraguan-born Canadian Denis Dávila.
==Background== The Miss Universe Canada contest was first held in 2003, with the first winner being Leanne Marie Cecile. Cecile made the Top 10 in [[Miss Universe 2003]].
[[Natalie Glebova]] was crowned the winner in 2005 and went on to become [[Miss Universe 2005]]. Glebova's successor [[Alice Panikian]] was viewed as a strong contender to win the 2006 [[Miss Universe 2006|Miss Universe]] crown and placed in the Top 10.
As of 2022, Canada along with [[Miss France|France]] remain the only countries to send a delegate to every edition of Miss Universe since its [[Miss Universe 1952|inaugural year]]. [[Miss Universe Germany|Germany]] shared this distinction until [[Miss Universe 2020|2020]], when it withdrew due to the [[COVID-19 pandemic]]<ref>{{Cite web | url=https://www.newsweek.com/miss-universe-2018-pageant-photos-catriona-gray-philippines-1259769 | title=Miss Universe 2018 in photos: Catriona Gray of Philippines crowned | website=[[Newsweek]] | date=December 16, 2018 }}</ref>
