History

The Miss BC pageant is organized by Darren Storsley and is part of Courage Productions. Since 2006, the pageant has been held at the Langley Fine Arts School in Fort Langley, British Columbia. Miss BC does not have limitations on its contestants' height, weight, and age, but instead claims to focus on "inner beauty", with an emphasis on life skills and charity fundraising.{{Cite web|last=Uytdewilligen|first=Ryan|date=2 July 2019|title=Winners crowned in 2019 Miss BC competition|url=https://www.thenorthernview.com/community/winners-crowned-in-2019-miss-bc-competition/|access-date=2020-06-12|website=Prince Rupert Northern View|language=en-US}}{{Cite news |work=Coast Reporter |title=Sechelt has pageant finalist |author=Jan DeGrass|date=June 29, 2012 |url=https://www.coastreporter.net/entertainment/arts-entertainment/sechelt-has-pageant-finalist-1.992610|access-date = June 12, 2020 }} In 2017, the pageant announced a 15-year reunion, with many of the past winners joining together in celebration.{{Cite web|title=Miss BC 15-Year Reunion|url=https://www.instagram.com/p/B_BGpy0hnNt/ |archive-url=https://ghostarchive.org/iarchive/s/instagram/B_BGpy0hnNt |archive-date=24 December 2021 |url-access=registration|access-date=June 7, 2020}}{{cbignore}} Miss BC pageants raise money for the Canadian Cancer Society's Cops for Cancer fundraiser.{{Cite web|last=Lyon|first=Christine|date=2016-06-24|title=Argyle student competes for Miss Teen BC title|url=http://www.nsnews.com/living/fashion/argyle-student-competes-for-miss-teen-bc-title-1.2286894|access-date=2020-06-12|website=North Shore News}} To date, the pageants have raised over $400,000 for the charity.{{Cite news |work=Columbia Valley Pioneer |title=Do you have what it takes to be Miss BC? |author=Kieran O'Connor|date=April 5, 2018 |url=https://www.columbiavalleypioneer.com/community/do-you-have-what-it-takes-to-be-miss-bc/|access-date = June 12, 2020 }}
