Born and raised in the small town of Winchester Ontario, the 22-year-old Alicia Angus is now living in the big city of Toronto, pursuing her dreams.
Alicia is a part-time model working with Ottawa and Montreal in high fashion runway. Alicia is not new to the pageant world; she began her Pageant journey at Miss Teen Canada when she was 17 and since then has had the honor of represented Canada at multiple international pageants; she has placed top 10 and top 5 multiple times while winning best swimsuit body and the overall title of Miss World Perfect 2016.

Alicia’s parents and her family are her greatest mentors and supporters throughout her life and her struggles. Her mother was diagnosed with cervical Cancer back in 2008 and now she is cancer free and is the definition of strength and selflessness. Never taking even one day for granted, Alicia’s motto is very clear in her life.
Alicia follows the policy of “staying humble, loving yourself, being strong, seeing the best in everyday even if you must look a little harder sometimes, and most importantly cherishing every moment you have with the people you love and the memories you make.”
Alicia believes that her journey and experiences throughout her life has given her the empowering stories and values that make her ready to represent Canada at Miss Universe pageant.
