The pageant, running Oct. 12 to 18 in the historic city on the Nile River delta, will host contestants from more than 20 countries.

Delegates will participate in cultural exchange events, public speaking, eco-friendly initiatives and stage performances – all designed to empower the next generation of global female leaders, the release said.

Moccia is passionate about advocating for children with disabilities, a cause she plans to spotlight throughout the international competition.

Her journey to Alexandria marks not only a personal milestone, but also a celebration of Canada’s rich multicultural identity and commitment to youth leadership on a global scale, the release said.
