Ashley Callingbull, proud member of Enoch Cree Nation has won Miss Universe Canada 2024! We are incredibly proud of our Indigenous sister, who will undoubtedly represent us with the highest standards and create meaningful change. This is a significant moment for Enoch Cree Nation and for our people.

When one of us succeeds, we all succeed. Indigenous people continue to make their mark and occupy stages previously unheard of. Now, the Miss Universe stage will be graced by a proud Cree woman. 🪶
