Gillian Shields was proclaimed Miss Rodeo Canada on Saturday!

The 21 year-old from Didsbury was Miss Rodeo Airdrie in 2011. Shields was one of three contestants, all from Alberta, to compete for this prestigious title.

Shields was excited and honoured to have won.

With the title of Canada's Rodeo Queen comes lots of travelling. Shields will visit over 400 events across Canada and around the world during her year-long reign. Her first stop is Las Vegas, Nevada for the Wrangler National Finals from December 6 - 15.

Congratulations Gillian!
