Nicole Dunsdon

Nicole Dunsdon (born November 7, 1970) was the last person to win the Miss Canada competition[1] before it was cancelled in 1992 due to changing times. Some women's organizations considered the pageant to encourage the sexual objectification of women. Dunsdon, from Summerland, British Columbia,[2] ascribed the cancellation of the pageant to the early 1990s recession, and expressed disappointment "that something as traditional as the Miss Canada pageant was touchable by the economic recession."[3] She graduated from Summerland Secondary School in 1988.[4] Dunsdon was crowned Miss Canada in October 1991.[5] Dunsdon also competed in Miss Universe 1992 in Bangkok, Thailand.[6] Dunsdon graduated from the University of Alberta with a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology in 1994 and from the University of Western Ontario with a Master of Arts in Journalism the following year.[4] As a journalist, she was one of the editors of Harold McGill's memoirs.[7] In addition to editing three books, Dunsdon worked with The Calgary Herald and The Globe and Mail before taking a position in communications with SAIT Polytechnic's Applied Research and Innovation Services department. Today, Dunsdon is a communications specialist at The University of Calgary’s Schulich School of Engineering.

gollark: I'm currently very slowly writing a blog post criticizing governments trying to do stupid things with encryption, but writing is hard.
gollark: You can't magically create a backdoor only accessible by people using it for "good reasons", and I would not trust *anyone at all* with the power to arbitrarily read people's communications.

gollark: Everyone knows a surveillance state is an excellent alternative to good parenting.
