Karina Tachuk is currently a Firefighter for the City of Ottawa and she dreams to be involved in her community in every way possible. She is competing in the Miss World Canada competition to be a role model for young women in society, bring awareness about mental health, and raise money for local charities. Her platform is to help teenage students in Canada who suffer from addiction issues. Karina wants to show young women that they achieve anything they set their minds to, like becoming a firefighter or even the next Miss World Canada.
