On a recent weekend in Metro Vancouver, shoppers, spectators and stage parents flocked to Tsawwassen Mills mall where there was a children’s modelling contest.

During the event, held near one of the sprawling, suburban mall’s many entrances, young competitors strutted their stuff down a makeshift runway for the chance to compete in the finals, held in Hangzhou, China later this summer.

From across the crowd, it was easy to spot Ruby Weihong Liu coming into the mall, despite the activity around the runway.
