Organized by Fairchild Television, and co-organized by Talentvision, Fairchild Radio, and Popular Lifestyle & Entertainment Magazine, the Miss Chinese Toronto Pageant 2019 will be held on November 29th (Friday) at the Metro Toronto Convention Centre Hall G in downtown Toronto

In its milestone 25th year, the Miss Chinese Toronto Pageant has grown to be the city’s largest beauty pageant. Fairchild Television has been working tirelessly to ensure that this annual event, watched by thousands across the country, will be memorable for all.

‍

‍

Through the Miss Chinese Toronto Pageant, Fairchild Television is committed to the principles of charitable causes and hopes to raise awareness and support within the Chinese-Canadian community for the services provided by local charitable organizations, while encouraging our finalists to become socially aware of what happens in their community. 

This year, for the first time,the North York General Hospital has teamed up with the Miss Chinese Toronto Pageant in becoming this years' charitable partner. Part of the proceeds from the evening’s meal ticket will go towards improving the hospital. Many departments at the North York General Hospital are well-known, including the oncology department and their treatments for breast cancer,prostate cancer and rectal cancer. The waiting time for breast cancer treatment is shorter than the average wait time in Ontario. With over five-thousand babies born each year, it is no surprise that the maternity ward is labelled as one of the top three in Ontario. Hand in hand, the Child Intensive Care Unit is renowned as well. Mental health is another distinguished program at the North York General Hospital, especially for children and adolescents.

‍

‍

Kitty Tsang, Chief Financial Officer for the North York General, expressed her gratitude at the press conference: “The North York General Hospital is proud to be a charity partner for Fairchild Television’s Miss Chinese Toronto Pageant 2019.We were honoured to receive recognition from US Newsweek, placing us 2nd amongst 1000 other hospitals worldwide in their “World’s Best Hospital 2019” list. All the proceeds gathered from the Miss Chinese Toronto Pageant will go towards improving the North York General Hospital to ensure that we can continue to serve the community and become the best hospital in the eyes of the Chinese Canadian community in Toronto! We wish all the finalists the best as they take the stage Friday for the final show,and we wish great success to the Miss Chinese Toronto Pageant as they celebrate their 25th anniversary.”

‍

‍

This year’s special guest performers have a couple of things in common: both are singers, both have a long list of notable accomplishments overseas, but most importantly, both their dreams started in Toronto.

‍

‍

Born in Shanghai, James Zhou participated in many singing competitions before making a name for himself in the music industry. He won 2nd-place in Fairchild Television’s New Talent Singing Awards in 2010. The following year, he nabbed 1st-place in Fairchild Radio's The 4th Canadian Chinese Song-Writers Quest (SQ4).He often says that music and the stage are where he can find himself best. In 2015, he joined Sing My Song and wrote a touching song dedicated to his father, which moved the judges to tears and became a huge hit with fans. He then joined The Voice China and wowed the judges with his singing and dancing techniques, which ultimately landed him a place on Jay Chou's team.

After graduating from the University of Toronto, Zhou’s return to China proved to be a choice that would greatly help advance his career. In 2013, he became the music producer of the theatrical drama Mystery of Liao Zhai. In 2014, he performed his first TV series My Youth High Eight Degrees. The following year, he joined the second season of Sing My Song and made it to the Top 4 in Tanya Chau’s team. In 2016, Zhou launched its first EP album "I Am James Zhou". He is currently active in the music industry, writing music with icons like Lala Hsu, Yang Kun, Tia Ray and more, and continuing to advance his singing career.

‍

‍

2nd runner-up in the 2013 New Talent Singing Awards and winner of the "Most Popular Online" Award, multilingual-talent Shuhei Nagasawa never lost sight of the importance of music in his life. Since his return to China, he has signed with famous Japanese entertainment label Amuse, and has also participated in the Japanese production of “Romeo & Juliet” (produced in partner with Johnny & Associates).

He competed in the fourth season of The Voice China and landed a Top 4 spot in Na Ying's team(Top 16 in the country). After competing on The Voice China, Nagasawa hit a roadblock in his songwriting process. As he struggled with his next steps, he wrote down how he felt in the moment and turned it into a song. Shortly after, he released his first single"Crimson Love", which skyrocketed his presence in the music industry.Since then, his career in music has not slowed down. In 2016, he released two more singles “I Think” and “My Only Dream”, and his EP “Hide My Tears”. His journey is an inspiration to all, showing that perseverance to achieve your dream can get you through any bumps along the way.

‍

‍

Though both guest performers have a long list of notable accomplishments, both are ecstatic to return to familiar territory. As they prepare to take the Miss Chinese Toronto Pageant stage as guest performers, they can’t wait to return to their roots and the city where their dreams first came true.

She believes that though there may be difficulties in life, as long as you face it with a positive attitude, you can jump over the hurdle. Angela is looking forward to the opening dance of the show, as dance teacher Vason has been working tirelessly with each and every finalists to ensure that every aspect is perfect. The ideal world in Angela's mind is one where everyone is free. But in order for that to happen, everyone must work together. Like Micheal Jackson once said (sang), “it’s true that we will make a better day, just you and me” (We Are The World).

James Zhou hails from a musical family (his father was a singer), so it's no shock that James himself chose a career in music. Two generations of music lovers collide, as they often explored the techniques of lyrical composition and discussed performance techniques of different singers from varying genres.Whenever Zhou writes a new song, he turns to his father for opinions on how to improve on all levels. During his time on Sing My Song, he wrote a touching song dedicated to his father, which became a huge hit with judges and fans alike. Zhou is currently active in the music industry,writing music with icons like Lala Hsu, Yan Kun, Tia Ray and more, and continuing to advance his singing career.

The nine finalists will compete for the title of champion, first runner-up and second runner-up, as well as Miss Congeniality, the Silky Hair Award, Miss Photogenic Award and more. The champion will also represent Toronto at the Miss Chinese International Pageant in Hong Kong.

The Miss Chinese Toronto Pageant is now in its milestone 25th year. Over the past quarter of a century, the pageant has attracted women with a variety of dreams and created numerous legends. The Pageant has also helped many girls to re-write their journey in life. This year is no exception.

After the selection process in early September, the ten finalists started a series of training sessions and promotional shoots, from image consulting to dance and everything in-between. Finalists have also been meeting with hair stylists, image consultants and more to get their professional opinions on how to maximize their potential onstage and through the lens. The star-studded team, including image consultant Clifford Yong, model trainer Ishie Wang, makeup artist Emmy Leung, hair stylist Carlos Pang, and dance teacher Vason Lam, have all worked tirelessly to create stunning looks for our finalists that our photographers can capture.

There is no doubt that the finalists will have an unforgettable experience filled with good memories as they continue to embark down the Miss Chinese Toronto Pageant journey.

This year, for the first time, the North York General Hospital has teamed up with Miss Chinese Toronto Pageant in becoming this years' charitable partner. Part of the proceeds from this years' pageant will be donated towards the hospital and vital areas that require assistance. To learn more or purchase tickets, please call 905-889-8090.

As the saying goes: Women are pleasing to others. But the truth is, makeup is often a girls' best friend. #1 Elaine prefers a colour palette consisting of white, light purple and blue. This simple, yet popping, mix suits her best. #2 Serena believes that it is normal for girls to love all things beauty. For her, it is easy to find an outfit that matches perfectly, and a handbag that can make said outfit pop. Serena loves red, because to her, it symbolizes enthusiasm. The change of an angle can bring a whole new view of the world.

2nd runner-up in the 2013 New Talent Singing Awards and winner of the "Most Popular Online" Award, trilingual-talent Shuhei Nagasawa never lost sight of the importance of music in his life.

In 2014, Nagasawa released his first single "Crimson Love", skyrocketing his presence in the music industry.

Part of the pageant process is doing due diligence by emphasizing the importance of giving back to the community. On October 25th,our finalists paid a visit to the Daily Bread Food Bank and spent the morning giving back to the less fortunate.

Their tour of one of Canada’s largest food banks started with food sorting, where they had the opportunity to get hands-on and go through donations. Through teamwork, they made sure that all donations had not passed their 'best before' date and separated them into their corresponding categories.

The Daily Bread Food Bank is also a provider of hot meals for the less fortunate. The finalists had the opportunity to assist in potato-preparation in the kitchen. Their nimble peeling-skills and determination, as they pared through 15lbs of potatoes, garnered praise from both staff and volunteers present.

To be able to help those less fortunate than ourselves is an experience that surely would not be forgotten by all anytime soon.

Part of the pageant process is doing due diligence by emphasizing the importance of giving back to the community. On October 25th,our finalists paid a visit to the Mon Sheong Long-Term Care Facility in Richmond Hill and spent the afternoon with residents and staff. 

The Miss Chinese Toronto Pageant is entering its milestone 25th year. To celebrate, residents and finalists teamed up to tackle an art project: design a sculpture that incorporates Mon Sheong and MCTP’s 25th anniversary. As the countdown timer reached zero, excitement and satisfaction could be heard from the teams of 2 as they completed their creations and prepared to show them off.

Finalists also serenaded long-term care residents with musical performances. From singing to the piano to flute, and a little dancing in-between, the golden oldie songs performed surely brought a blast from the past for the audience.

The joyous laughter that filled the room ensured that today's experience left a mark in the hearts of all.
