Hey everyone, One more sleep until Toronto for myself :) I will be leaving Prince George tomorrow at 7:25 A.M in the morning with fellow contestant Morgan Langer, "Miss Teen Prince George".  My suit cases are all packed, maybe a little too full, but I couldn't help it.  A girl can never be too sure on what she wants to wear.  I am so excited! I cannot wait for Sunday to come.

For those of you who are traveling to Toronto to witness this amazing event, you can purchase tickets at ticket Master for the final night of the competition.  It will be on July 25th, 8 PM at the John Bassett Theatre.

For those of you who do not know, as contestants in the Miss Teen Canada World Pageant, we must complete assignments on our blogs that will be judged as part of our final mark for the pageant.  Each assignment is marked based on writing skills, and the overall appearance of our blog.  Here is assignment #3. 

We are asked to visit the Free the Children website and pick a photo which we feel is the most powerful from the Media room. Below is the Photo I chose.

Free the Children is truely an amazing organization.  They're goal is to free children from poverty and exploitation and free young people from the idea that they are powerless to affect positive change in the world.  If I was the marketing Director for Free the Children and I had to choose the most powerful image from the photo gallery, I would choose the above image of the little girl.  This little girl was caught in the action of working on her school work.  With Free the Children's help, this little child has the opportunity to go to school and receive a proper education.  I can see in her eyes that she is happy. She is full of hope and wonder.  She is thankful for being given a chance to step forward and learn.  When I first looked at this picture it made me feel humble, and happy for this little girl.  You never know how rough her home life may be.  She could be living in very poor situations with no clean water, and not a under sturdy roof.  She could be hungry for most of her days, and she may live in fear everyday of her life.  As for this one moment captured, she is at ease.  She knows that there are people in the world that care about her, and her family and friends.  She knows people all over the world are trying to help her and her family stay on their two feet.  This little girl is grateful there is people in the world donating to Free the Children because she knows all children in the world deserve to go to school, and live healthy, happy lifestyles.   

Hey everyone! The pageant is coming up close here, I leave on saturday! I am so so so excited. I want to thank everyone for all your support in helping me with this amazing experience.  Thank you Grandma & Grandpa Tucker, Contours hair salon for men and women, The Barnette's, Auntie Fay and Annette for sponsoring me.  As well as everyone involved in the Free the Children fundraiser.  Thank you Dawn For organizing the event and Shawn for helping.  Thank you Mom and Dad for everything you have done for me in my entire lifetime you are amazing parents.  Thank you friends for helping me a long the way :) Could not have done it without you all! 

As of today Voting has started.  You can place our vote anytime between today and July 25th at noon (Toronto Time, so that would be 9am BC time).  The girl with the most votes will receive a fast track into the top 20! So please if you have not done so, vote for me!

HI there! This is Miss Teen Central Saskatchewan once again, bringing you the best of Saskatoon, my home town, or I should say City! You can visit my blog at the link right above where you will find Genevieve tucker posting blogs about her home town in BC! My name is also Genevieve, Genevieve jones and I would like to take you on a tour of Saskatoon the city that shines brightly in the world and i my heart.

I personally reside from Saskatoon. Saskatoon is the largest city in Saskatchewan, and one of the most cultured and fast growing too. We have a population of 209,400 and it is always growing, especially over the more recent years. There is so much to take in and experience in my city all year round. It is so hard to direct people in one general direction when it comes to specific events and tourist attractions. Currently taking place in downtown Saskatoon is the delicious event, Taste of Saskatchewan, which features over 30 of Saskatoon’s most prestigious restaurants and amazing performance from the city’s own bands and musical acts. The event is located right next door to the delta Bessborough and the Sheraton Cavalier two of the best hotels along the river front.

Another amazing experience on the river is the Shakespeare on the Saskatchewan. This event showcases performers acting out two of Shakespeare’s plays, this year being, A Midsummer Night’s Dream, and Antony and Cleopatra. Other attractions include feasts just like in the medieval times, and DanceEgypt preforming Dances of the Nile. The whole event raises money for various charities, while taking in no profit for itself. This year it is also the 25th anniversary of Shakespeare on the Saskatchewan! I personally have gone to this event and I can say that it is simply amazing, the actors are incredible and it is so easy to relax while you listen to them speaking with the quiet sounds of the Saskatchewan river playing in the background.

and inside the tents

Saskatoon will soon attract even more tourists with its River Landing project.

My city is a place where everyone can find their own niche. We have many theaters that feature regular block buster movies, unique plays and top musical acts..the next being the Blink 182 concert, with opening bands like Fall Out Boy and The All American Rejects!! At the Persephone Theater they are always trying something new, I recently attended a play that took the audience through the city to a secret location where the play was performed. It was so different and very exciting, the play was very dark and grown up but it was easy to enjoy it. If your not into plays then there is a great club scene as well in Saskatoon. For the last 6 months or so I have attended some of the Good Life productions at the Odeon in Saskatoon. These ‘raves’ are far from the normal stereotype of raves. Although there is always something minor that does go wrong, the raves however are a place that people who don’t normally fit in can fit in. They are a blast and even though my friends and I do typically fit in with the norms of society we love to go out dancing and hit the techno scene featured at the Odeon raves.

We also have one of the largest museums in the province with the best of the past. The Western Development Museum has been a favorite of tourist and Saskatoon residence for 60 years!! And now there is a new wing open to the public called "The Saskatchewan Story" this new section focuses on the human side of the Boom Town story, what it was like to be a farmer or a foreigner coming to the city and starting a new life. "Boom Town" as it is called is full of old time shops and cars with great stories, it is a fun place to explore!

Saskatoon is full of very patriotic fans, devoted to their home football teams like the Saskatchewan Roughriders

And Saskatoon's own team the HillTops!

Saskatoon truly shines!!

Hello everyone, this is Assignment number two and Genevieve and I, the other Genevieve, are teaming up to bring you bits and pieces of our provinces most brilliant attractions. I would like to thank Genevieve for being my partner on this!!

My province has recently become a major hot spot because of the economic down turn. Saskatchewan has a lot to offer and I would like to take you on a tour of everything that Saskatchewan brings to the table. My name is Genevieve Jones and I am Miss Teen Central Saskatchewan-World. Saskatchewan has a lot more to offer than most people think. Many would look at my province as a small flat underpopulated dry plain, but that is not how I see it. Saskatchewan has a vast cultural community and there is a lot to take in and experience. The land scape of Saskatchewan is generally flat but it holds more than just grass and wheat. Saskatchewan is a tight knit community that is easy to fit into. People are always helping each other out and it always makes me smile when I see someone go out of their way to make a difference in someone's day. That is what Saskatchewan is all about.

Saskatchewan has a little something for everyone. No matter what your style or budget it there is a place in Saskatchewan that has a home to fit your heart perfectly. Saskatchewan realty can find you your dream house, whether it be small and quaint or large and luxurious. Even if you simply want to visit Saskatchewan has a small but impressive amount of beautiful hotels and resorts, including: the Bessborough in Saskatoon, the Sand Castle Resort in Borden Saskatchewan, the Hotel Saskatchewan in Regina and the Elk Ridge Resort in Waskesiu Saskatchewan. Each hotel and resort listed is unique and beautiful offering a relaxing or exciting experience within its doors and home cities or towns. There is more to come, but for now you can Oooo and Awhhh over the beauty of these hot spot hotels and resorts!

Only 8 more days until the pageant.. and I really hope all my hard work on my blog pays off!  Honestly before this pageant, I had no idea how to do anything on a computer besides go on facebook.. Ha ha.  I just want to remind everyone to visit  the Miss Teen Canada World website and please become a VIP member so you can vote for me when the time comes! Here's a picture of me working hard at my blog, chugging the apple juice to keep me awake :) 

I'm a tad bit late to wish Canada "Happy Birthday", but a little late is never too late.  Canada may be showing some wear and tear here and there, but for 142 years old, I'd say our big country is looking pretty good.  Every year, in my little town of Prince George, we have a patriotic celebration of Canada's birthday at Fort George Park.  

At this event, family and friends unite in celebrating our country.  There is fun activities for the kids, and people of all ages.  There is face painting, water fights at our small water park, lots of different types of foods and the best of all, the great cultural performances.

  I was lucky enough to take part in one of them.  Once again, I joined the Bhangra dance club of Prince George and performed a song called "Gori".  (Which means "white girl" in Punjabi).  This is led by my fantastic instructor Harman.  I hope to be as good as these dancers some day, they are absolutely phenomenal.  I loved my pink traditional east Indian Suit I got to wear, it was beautiful, although it was a very hot day outside and I was a tad uncomfortable ha ha.  Over all it was a beautiful, patriotic day, and all I have to say is I am so happy and blessed to be Canadian!

Every year in June, My beautiful town of Prince George, B.C takes part in the Variety Children's Radiothon.  Variety is a children's charity.  Their goal is to raise funds and distribute grants throughout British Columbia to inspire hope, enrich lives, and build a better future for children who have special needs.  I was very fortunate to be a part of this special day.  On June 24th I called into the Radiothon at a local radio station called "94X" and pledged $100.00.  After pledging the money, I received the option of in return for my money, getting a little huggable teddy bear which I named "Miss Teen Northern British Columbia".  On June 27th, I took part in the charity's thanks at our local Child development centre.  Here, I was enlightened by the Variety Charity's spokespeople.  I was also granted to give my teddy bear to a child at the development centre.  Unfortunately, the little girl I gave the bear to was having a rough day, so I never got to take her picture, but there is a few other children I took pictures of with their fluffy bears.  I was very happy and pleased to hear that at this year's radiothon, my small town of Prince George raised $40,000.00 for The Variety Charity.  WOW!

I am daddy's little girl.  Always will be. Me and my father are two peas in a pod.  Practically everyone says we are spitting images of each other and I always deny and say "eww no way" (ha ha), But I know inside that we really are. From the minute I was born, my mother told me that I changed my father.  He even quit hunting because of me!  He truely is an amazing person and an amazing father. He always does so much for my family.

 Even if Im having a really bad day and i come home hiding my tears behind a smile, he can always sense when there is something wrong and will be there in a flash to try to get me to feel better.  He may seem unaffected by his surroundings, but that isn't so.  He has a hard outer shell, but inside he has a soft, kind heart.  My Dad is awesome and I love him so much!  I really hope everyone is having a great Sunday with their fathers :)

On Sunday, June.14th, I had my first ever "Free The Children" fundraiser.  It was so amazing to see so many new and familiar faces in the crowd.  It was held at a local performing stage in Prince George called "Art Space".  My singing teacher, Dawn Boudreau, helped me organize the event.  Local singers and musicians performed for the very generous crowd and we managed to raise $900.00 all by donation!  I was so impressed. 

 It was so amazing to see such a great turn out for such a great cause.  The venue was stifling hot and almost unbearable to stand, but we all managed to put on a show like we always do!  It was an interesting night, because not only was I singing, I was also introducing each performer  and speaking about the charity as well as my singing group.  I am so blessed and thankful for all of the supportive people in my life.  Without each and every one of them, this experience would become very difficult.  I am so blessed and great-ful.  I can't wait to raise more and more money for the charity.  

Just think, if all of the fifty girls in the pageant raised $400.00 each, we would have $20,000.00!  We are making it possible for "Free The Children" to achieve their goals in freeing children from poverty and exploitation and to free young people from the notion that they are powerless to affect positive change in the world.  Thank you all once again for being a part of the fundraiser on Sunday, It was truely an unforgettable evening.  

Finally, school has come to an end.  It has been a long thirteen years of school.  I cannot wait to move on to college and become something important.  I have been waiting for so long to move onto a career that is important to society.  I am torn between becoming a writer, psychologist, or a police officer.  These all seem to be completely different paths, but I am a well rounded person and I know I can do whatever I want to as long as I work hard and never give up.

 Last week I received my certificate stating that I have gone through grade 12 with honors.  Meaning that I received honor roll my entire grade 12 year.  I am so proud of myself. 

I cannot wait to jump into the big world ahead of me, all i can do is go up, up, up!  ---> Here is a picture of me in front of my high school (Prince George Secondary School) after the awards night last Thursday. 

Tonight at 7 P.M I will be hosting my first ever "Free The Children" fundraiser. Here is an article that was written about me in the local "Prince George Citizen" yesterday.

They were raising money the hospital and medical reasons. I was performing a song called " Gori ". I learned how to dance, as well as lip sink in Punjabi. It was an amazing experience.

During the May Day parade, I was asked to be included on a float. My mother didn't have a float, but we do have a pretty neat car, so I got to sit in top of the solstice and throw out candy to all the Children. It was a lot of fun and the weather was great.

Well I am not too sure how to do this! 

This is my first blog entry ever.  Where to start? Where to begin? I can start with saying that I just had an amazing graduation weekend.  I had my prom and graduation all in the same day, so it has been one crazy weekend.  Check out a few of my photos of my date and I on my Flickr widget.  Today has been a great weekend because I got to spend it with my closest friends and family members.  I am thrilled that it is almost June.  As a finalist of Miss teen Canada- World, this means only two more months to wait until the pageant!  

I'd best introduce myself to begin with.  My name is Genevieve Tucker.  I am 18 years old and am from Beautiful Prince George, British Columbia.  I am a very fun-loving, outgoing, determined young lady with a strong passion for animals.  Just recently I was honored to be labeled "Miss Teen Northern British Columbia- World" , after becoming one of the top finalists in the Miss Teen British Columbia.  I have been so grateful for this opportunity that has been given to me.  I have a chance, a long with 49 other contestants, to be crowned  "Miss Teen Canada- world" in July this summer!  I would be so trilled and honored to receive this title because it would give me a chance to speak out to teens across Canada and make them aware of the problems facing our communities everyday, and also ways that they can help solve these problems.  Anyways, I hope you all have enjoyed my first Blog!
