Miss World Canada visits hometown<br />
Pageant winner headlines Missions Fest<br />
By Pieta Woolley • pieta@prliving.ca<br />
In July 2012, former Powell River kidnext-door<br />
Tara Teng walked the stage<br />
in Ordos, China as Miss World Canada.<br />
She was watched by 2.2 billion pageant<br />
fans. That’s just slightly fewer than the<br />
audience for the World Cup final. But<br />
Tara is returning to her hometown roots<br />
this month, when she visits Powell River<br />
as a passionate human rights speaker,<br />
with the second annual Powell River Missions<br />
Fest (see sidebar.)<br />
Tara, 25, grew up here. Her dad, Terry<br />
Teng, was an environmental biologist<br />
at the mill, and then associate pastor at<br />
Westview Baptist Church. Her mom, Lori<br />
Teng, homeschooled Tara and her two<br />
younger siblings. She ferried them around<br />
to swimming and skating lessons, piano<br />
and voice classes at the Powell River<br />
Academy of Music, and softball practice<br />
on the dewy grass at Larry Gouthro Park.<br />
Tara’s career as a beauty queen has<br />
taken her across the world — and not just<br />
because of her stunning looks.<br />
