For both of Delta91裸聊视频檚 pageant hopefuls, the journey is more important than the crown.
On the Canada Day long weekend, Minette Gendur and Jaskiran Kaur will be competing in the Mrs. B.C. and Miss B.C. pageants, respectively. Both are hoping the pageant will be a positive and empowering experience.
