Finalist Miss Canada 2025

Hello,

Originally hailing from Kitchener-Waterloo, Ontario, Jacquoline, who herself lives with a disability, presently serves as the Community Partners Coordinator for the British Columbia Epilepsy Society (a venerable 60-year-old non-profit organization devoted to the well-being of individuals and their families living with neurological disabilities throughout the province.) Ms. Martin has always, and will continue to be, an avid advocate in the community.

Her unwavering commitment to philanthropy began in her youth, as she immersed herself in volunteer work across a multitude of sectors from the tender age of 16 or 17. Her inaugural, noteworthy initiative was with the Canadian Mental Health Association, where she played a pivotal role in the creation of a program designed to combat bullying within high schools.

Upon her relocation to British Columbia, Jacquoline founded a non-profit dedicated to addressing homelessness, which, in time, was absorbed by a larger organization based in Burnaby, BC. Throughout her illustrious career, she has remained a steadfast advocate for those living with disabilities, the homeless and minority communities. Her lifelong dedication to social causes has not gone unnoticed. Ms. Martin has garnered recognition from the Government of Canada in the form of the Sovereign’s Medal, the Queen’s Diamond Jubilee Medal, and a distinguished place on the WXN Top 100 Women list.

Jacquoline’s leadership is characterized by a steadfast commitment to accountability, integrity, and honesty, virtues that inform every aspect of her work.
