As she prepares to compete for the title of Miss Teen Canada World, Terri Faloney plans to stay in shape and continue her charity work with Free the Children.She’s making final preparations for an evening gown and swimsuit competition, featured during the July 25 pageant at Toronto’s John Basset Theatre.
If she’s lucky enough to advance from a field of 52 to the final five, Terri will take part in a live interview segment. For pageant contestants, it’s the make or break point, when the winner emerges from the field.
But when it comes to the all important interview portion, Terri isn’t doing any rehearsing at all.
“I like to be myself,” said Terri. “I can see when other girls just practice their lines. Being 100 per cent honest will hopefully set me apart from everyone else.”
Last Saturday, Terri and her friends from Hillfield Strathallan College held a charity car wash at Thornberry, Outlaw and Associates on Wilson Street East, raising $270 for Free the Children. Terri already rose over $1,000 for the organization before the event. Founded in 1995 by 12-year-old Craig Kielburger, Free the Children fights child poverty around the world.
Terri, a recent graduate of Hillfield Strathallan College, hopes to launch an acting career. She’s studying once a week at John Robert Powers School of Acting in Toronto. She’s been accepted by two universities, but plans to take a year off from school next year to travel and work on her career. She’s already earned the title of Miss Teen Ancaster World.
Terri is also the granddaughter of legendary Hamilton Tiger-Cats quarterback Bernie Faloney. Terri has raised awareness of colorectal cancer, a disease that claimed her grandfather’s life in 1999.
Tickets to the July 25 Miss Teen Canada World pageant are available through Ticketmaster.
