Miss Rodeo Canada

The First Lady of Canadian Professional Rodeo

On November 12, 2004, during the evening performance of the Canadian Finals Rodeo, Christa Lawrence’s dreams came true when she was crowned Miss Rodeo Canada 2005. Christa is the first representative from Saskatchewan in 21 years to capture the coveted title of Miss Rodeo Canada.

Christa was Miss Rodeo Maple Creek 2003 and was delighted to represent her hometown. She grew up on her family’s historic cattle ranch where appreciation of the cowboy way of life and its western values has defined her as the woman she is today.

Eighteen year old Christa is a recent high school graduate and a former member of the Saskatchewan High School Rodeo All Star team. In 2004, Christa was honored to be named Cowgirl of the Year.

As the first lady of Canadian Professional Rodeo, Christa will travel extensively throughout Western Canada and into the United States as the ambassador for the Canadian Professional Rodeo Association working with rodeo committees, sponsors and rodeo fans.

As Miss Rodeo Canada, Christa will also be lending her support to the Canadian Breast Cancer Foundation, the Miss Filly Program, The Stollery Children’s Hospital, STARS, Tim Horton’s Camp Day and the Cowboy Benevolent Fund. “It is an honor and a dream come true to carry the title of Miss Rodeo Canada and to represent the Canadian Professional Rodeo Association. I have the opportunity to carry on rodeo’s traditions and western heritage. I love the sport – the excitement of it, the speed of it and the thrill of competition. Carrying the Canadian flag on horseback with our national anthem filling the arena provides me with an unbelievable sense of pride and patriotism. The opportunities that await me are endless.”

Christa is so proud of her western heritage and is looking forward to the many wonderful experiences that await her in the next year. She honors the legacy of Miss Rodeo Canada and will wear the title proudly as she represents the sport of rodeo and the Canadian Professional Rodeo Association.
