Tia-Lynne McCann was born on November 22nd, 2002, in Windsor, Ontario. She was adopted when she was 3, along with her 6-year-old brother and 2-year-old sister, after living in several foster homes and experiencing some challenging situations. She did not have a good start in life, but she has overcome the challenges and is working on becoming a well-rounded young woman. This has helped her to become passionate about becoming a role model for young teens to inspire them to believe in themselves, and in the possibility of achieving success in their life even though they came from a rough start. Tia’s academic aspirations is to become a Child and Youth Psychologist. Tia has chosen as her platform to work with Children’s Aid Society (CAS) to bring awareness for the need of foster and adoptive homes; as well as, inspiring children in the foster care system to have faith and hope in a brighter future. Currently, Tia volunteers for the Tecumseh Community Policing Committee, with the Tecumseh OPP detachment and works on initiatives that promote safety in her community. She also volunteers for different events at her church, as well as, her high school. Tia’s motto is: “Although no one can go back and make a brand-new start; anyone, can start from now, and make a brand-new ending.” – words by Carl Bard.
