An 18-year-old from Espanola is looking forward to representing her community over the next year.
Brylie Yarkie is excited to have been selected as Miss Espanola 2020 and will be competing at the Miss Ontario North in Sudbury in late Spring.
The Espanola High student also volunteers her time to help out various organizations.
She says her platform this year is substance abuse prevention.
She adds she has personally seen many lives affected by it and she wants to help provide a voice for those who do not have the courage to speak up about their struggles with substance abuse
