Miss Universe Canada 2013 made ugly mistake, crowns wrong winner

TORONTO - Hours after Denise Garrido was crowned Miss Universe Canada 2013, then 1st runner-up Riza Santos, a Filipino-Canadian, was declared the real winner after A Beauties Of Canada' (BOC) Production found out that a human error took place during the coronation ceremony.

In a statement published at the Miss Universe Canada official website, the BOC Production corrected the unfortunate and awkward coronation of Denise Garrido held last May 25 at the St. Lawrence Center for the Arts in Toronto, Canada. Below is the complete statement:

MISS UNIVERSE CANADA 2013 FINAL RESULTS
The 2013 Miss Universe Canada pageant took place on Saturday, May 25 at the St. Lawrence Centre for the Arts in Toronto. During the validation of the computerized scoring results (which occurs the following day), a typo was discovered in the top 5 entries, which significantly impacted the final results of the competition. This is the first instance of this type of error in the 11 years that Beauties of Canada (BOC) has produced the Miss Universe Canada pageant.

This is an unfortunate circumstance where a human error was made, and in such a situation, as difficult as it is, it is only right to correct the error. Therefore, the official results of Miss Universe Canada 2013 are as follows:

Miss Universe Canada 2013 ­ Riza Santos (Calgary, AB)
1st runner-up ­ Siera Bearchell (Moose Jaw, SK)
2nd runner-up ­ Diana Martin (Mississauga, ON)
3rd runner-up ­ Denise Garrido (Bradford, ON)
4th runner-up ­ Michelle McKay (Sarnia, ON)

We would like to offer our sincere apology to Denise Garrido for this human error discovered while validating the results. Miss Garrido’s example and grace represents all we look for at Miss Universe Canada. We have no doubt she will continue to succeed in her endeavours and we wish her well. We truly hope she remains a strong part of the Miss Universe Canada Organization.
