Nicole Dunsdon
Canadian model
Nicole Dunsdon (born November 7, 1970) is a Canadian model and beauty pageant titleholder who was the last person to win the Miss Canada competition before it was cancelled in 1992. The title was resurrected in 2009.
Biography
Dunsdon was born November 6, 1970. She is from Summerland, British Columbia.
She graduated from Summerland Secondary School in 1988; from the University of Alberta with a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology in 1994; and from the University of Western Ontario with a Master of Arts in Journalism the following year.
Dunsdon was crowned Miss Canada in October 1991. She also competed in Miss Universe 1992 in Bangkok, Thailand.
Some women's organizations considered the Miss Canada pageant to encourage the sexual objectification of women. Dunsdon said in 2009 that there are beauty pageant contestants that meet the stereotypes; "egotistical, materialistic, slightly air-headed and ill-informed... but those ones never win." She ascribed the cancellation of the pageant to the early 1990s recession, and expressed disappointment "that something as traditional as the Miss Canada pageant was touchable by the economic recession."
As a journalist, she was one of the editors of Harold McGill's memoirs.
This brief starts where responsible research should: with the source description of “Nicole Dunsdon” as canadian model. Everything that follows is an evidence route, not borrowed authority.
Why this record matters
The subject matters to the general reference register because the source frames it as canadian model. Its deeper value depends on whether names, dates, institutions and citations support that framing.
Vocabulary and entity names are the principal evidence signals here, because they determine the precision of every later search. The source revision retrieved here is dated Aug 31, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q16202511. 1 of 1 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 1970, 1992, 2009 and 1988.
A concise general-reference account can conceal disagreements about scope, terminology or the weight assigned to individual sources. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
