@ Miss Teen Canada set to challenge the world Being in the right place, at the right time couldn’t be more true for young Cali Turner of Blackstock. This attractive young teen was sitting near a window in a downtown To- ronto Tim Horton's with her mother last year, when she was approached by representatives of the Shok Modelling Agency.
