B.C.’s Chiantelle Nicole Rey vies
for title of Miss Canada
She’s the embodiment of
a woman whose beauty is more
than skin-deep.
For Chiantelle Nicole Rey, a
finalist in the 2019 Miss Canada
pageant, real beauty comes from
the inside out.
A
holistic
nutritionist,
Chiantelle emphasizes the role of
proper food and self care as the
core foundations of a person’s
development.
Holistic nutrition and self care
form the platform she bannered
at the Miss Earth Canada contest,
in which she became Miss Earth
B.C. + MEC ’16: Beauty For A
Cause.
Chiantelle, who is the oldest
daughter of dental doctor Nilo
Rey and Juvie Rey, is also Miss
Greater Vancouver 2015.
Chiantelle will compete in the
Miss Canada pageant in Montréal
from February 27 to March 3 at
the Sheraton Laval Hotel.
“My platform was and still is
to emphasize the importance of
holistic nutrition and self care,”
Chiantelle said. “I continually use
my platform to support people
and brands who focus on health
and wellness, eco-sustainability,
and giving back to community.”
Chiantelle is also an event
and wedding coordinator.
She also said that everyone
has a story to tell and a purpose
in life.
“We’ve been given our own set
of gifts and talents to serve others
and to be the salt and the light of
this world,” Chiantelle said. “As
a certified wedding coordinator
and event planner, I love getting
to know people and establishing
intentional relationships with
them in order to create events
that celebrates their story or
brings awareness to the causes
they value.”
She also related that food
and nutrition play a huge role in
her life.
“It’s amazing to see and
to learn how food can be used
therapeutically and how much of
a role food plays in community
building,” Chiantelle said. “In
March 2019, I write my final
licensing exam to become a
Registered Holistic Nutritionist.
With this designation, I hope to
provide a safe space for people
to learn about what’s in season,
recipes and tips, and to share
food photos that they’ve made
themselves or had at restaurants/
cafes/food trucks.”
The Miss Canada event has
been around since 1946, and
Chiantelle hopes that through
this pageant, she can reach out to
more people with her platform of
holistic nutrition and self care.
“This platform is something
greater than myself,” she said.
“Voting for me is voting for the
causes and the values that you
and I align with, whether that be
in health and wellness, food and
sustainability, and/or community
building.”
Chiantelle describes herself
as a lifelong learner.
“I love taking classes, listening
to podcasts, reading books of all
kinds to traveling and exploring,
meeting
new
people
and
experiencing different cultures,”
she said.
