City sorry for Miss Universe snub | |
The mayor of Toronto has apologised to Canada's Miss Universe winner after she was barred from attending a festival in the city in her official capacity.
Natalie Glebova, 23, who won the global beauty competition in May, was told she would be allowed in only if she removed her Miss Universe sash and crown. City officials cited a by-law which prohibits activities encouraging sexual stereotyping and degradation. But city mayor David Miller admitted they had gone too far. | |
