Hello! My name is Allison Chisholm, a Peninsula local of 2 years and your Miss Galaxy Lion’s Head 2022. I am a proud 4th generation Chisholm, living on the Peninsula, and I am ever so fortunate to call this beautiful land my home.
I came here with a mission. A mission to make new connections, tell my story and live as happily as I can while making an impact and following my dream to participate in a Galaxy Pageant.
The Galaxy Pageant System hosts a progressive event focusing on the future and it challenges all women to make better tomorrows. “The strength of TOMORROW is the women of TODAY…” states their website. Where the Galaxy pageant has been known for inclusivity, the industry flagship Miss Universe Pageants have JUST announced that starting next year they will be inviting mothers and married women to compete for their crown for the first time in history! This marks the change in a 70-year tradition! Miss Universe 2020, Andrea Meza, says, “About time!”
I’m a young mother and pageant contestant. And I for one, am grateful for any community that enables strong women, regardless of their homelife.
I discovered the Canada Galaxy Pageant System last year, and I love everything that this pageant system stands for. Its focus is sisterhood, womanhood and community work. It is a one-of-a-kind system that is inclusive to all those who are interested. Once I applied to be a contestant, I was appointed the title of Miss Galaxy Lion’s Head 2022. I decided it was time to enter the competition, not only because I love what the system stands for, but I was also ready to share my story as a young mother and to help amplify the other stories around me. As a mom, I wanted to show that I could be successful in something that moms don’t normally do. I wanted to show that no matter what happens, or when you start, you can be successful in your dreams.
So far, I have raised over $1,000 for Give Kids the World Village, made 15 appearances with my regional title, and have helped raise funds for the Bruce Peninsula Family Center. I’ve also launched my blog, The Commonality Movement, in January of this year. The Commonality Movement is a platform for people to share their life experiences, in hopes of inspiring or supporting others. To date, I have featured ten women from across Canada, and have also released two self-written articles. To check it out, visit thecommonalitymovement.wordpress.com
On September 26th, I will compete for the National Title of Miss Galaxy Canada 2023 in Toronto, where, if I were to win, I would continue to represent my beautiful town and the rest of Canada on an International Stage competing for the title of Miss Galaxy 2024. My dream.
If these missions or values align, your support would mean the world. Cheer me on as a part of #TeamAllison! A link to the live stream of the final competition will be shared on my official Miss Galaxy Lion’s Head 2022 Pages closer to the pageant date.
Make sure to follow all of my social media accounts for updates, and information on how you can support and become a part of #TeamAllison! I cannot wait to represent the Peninsula and all it has to offer as I grace the national stage.
