Finalist Miss Canada 2022
Rhodena M
Hello,
My name is Rhodena. I am an adventurous, easy going and hard working 29 year old trying to see the world and get out of my shell.
I lived 20 years of my life in Cape Breton Nova Scotia where I was born.
Growing up I was very athletic being part of track-and-field, baseball, soccer and basketball. Being a very kind person I have dedicated my time to coaching kids in sports and volunteering for fundraisers. After high school I did odd jobs but was never fully happy and with the support of my family I was lucky enough to go to college and receive my class one trucking license. I was quickly hired and that’s when I began my journey and moved across the country to Edmonton Alberta.
Being a truck driver is never boring, there are always new people to meet and great scenery to see. My work schedule has always allowed me to take time for myself. Allowing me to take adventures camping in the summer time or skiing in the winter. It also gives me time to volunteer for things like relay for life and selling daffodils to raise money for cancer research with the Canadian Cancer Society.
With covid putting things to almost a complete stop and most of us being stuck inside, I feel like this competition is a way for me to get back out there to make friends and continue to challenge myself and boost my confidence.
I love the saying “The top of one mountain is the bottom of the next, so keep climbing” meaning to me once you complete one obstacle keep going, there is always another so keep working hard towards your dreams and that’s why I’m here today. You can do anything you want if you believe in yourself!

If you’d Elected: what you would realize
Why vote for me!
As a winner I would like to spread more awareness and raise more money for the Canadian Cancer Society. I would also like to continue to spread positivity and create a safe space for people to join to laugh, make friends and feel confident.
Before this competition I was always very shy but i realized my shyness and lack of confidence is keeping me from doing things I love. I want to show other people that they have so much beauty and confidence and that their thoughts and opinions are powerful and they just need to believe in themselves and they can do anything.
