SARNIA – Summer Manning-Catt is sticking to her plan of competing in this year’s Miss Indigenous Canada pageant.
The Kettle and Stony Point First Nation member, however, is bringing along a tiny sidekick.
Manning-Catt will be 28 weeks pregnant with her first child when she competes at the pageant scheduled for July 23-26 in Six Nations of the Grand River.
“When I found out I was pregnant, I was a little unsure about continuing on with the competition,” said Manning-Catt, who celebrated her 29th birthday on July 15. “But knowing that this pageant is in large part about being a positive role model, I thought that it’s also important to consider how that would potentially look if I pulled out just because I’m pregnant.”
