Jasmin enters Miss Vancouver 2026 with a deeply personal purpose: to raise awareness about substance use, addiction and the devastating overdose crisis affecting individuals and families across our communities.

Her father struggled with substance use and overdose, and December 5 will mark six years since his passing. This year, that date is also pageant night. What would ordinarily be a day of grief and remembrance has become an opportunity for Jasmin to honour his life through something greater than herself.

Behind every overdose statistic is a person, a family, a story and a life that deserved more time. Jasmin hopes to challenge the stigma surrounding addiction, encourage compassion and remind those who are struggling that they remain worthy of support, dignity and the chance to recover.

For Jasmin, this journey is about far more than a crown. It is about turning personal loss into meaningful advocacy and using her voice for those who may feel unheard—for her father, for every family that has experienced this loss and for every life that can still be saved.
