For this week’s “Canuck O’ The
Week” I thought I would talk about someone who is not only going to save
the world one day—but she’s going to look darn good while doing it!
Meet Lauren Howe, a Toronto
native who last summer became Ms. Teen Canada-World! Aside from being a
industrial engineer, right wing on McGill’s field hockey team and a really
awesome dancer (lol), Lauren is also actively involved with the non-profit
organization, “Free the Children”.
This past September, she spoke in
front of a rather large audience at Toronto’s Air Canada Center for “We Day”. Along with other pageant contestants, she helped raise a whopping $74,000 for
the “Free the Children” organization. This summer she will also be
participating in a service trip in India.
If that isn’t awesome enough for
you—just wait. She has also been on service projects in Ghana and Peru, won the
calculus award for our senior class and is bilingual in French and English.
When not fundraising, studying or being in some foreign land, you will likely
find Lauren watching “How I Met Your Mother”, munching on sushi, or hanging out
with her zillion pets. She has one cat, Hunter and two dogs, named Sprinkles
and Muffin—or maybe their names are Cupcake and Summer?
Regardless of the names of her
two fluffy pals, this girl is definitely going places and I’m proud to call her
one of my best friends!
You go
Jwowhowe!
