Canadian Search for Miss Universe
Titleholders
The Canadian Search for Miss Universe (better known as Miss Canadian Universe) was founded in 1993 after the Miss Canada Pageant ended. It was run out of Edmonton, Alberta (Toronto, Ontario in August 2001)
and was held annually in the spring between 1993 and 1999, when the pageant title was post-dated. For the final three years, the contest was held in August or November of the previous calendar year. The Miss Universe Canada Pageant became the franchise holders for Canada in 2003. Enjoy the list!
