Toronto resident 11-year-old Elliana Myslinsky was named 2025 Little Miss Lion on Aug. 30. Myslinski selected the odd-colored rose during the Toronto Art Festival’s opening ceremony. Members of the Toronto Lion’s Club organized the event, which received 22 applications this year. Five were randomly selected at a club meeting to serve as contestants. Little Miss Lion and her court, consisting of Skylar Boyd, 9; Ameerah Taylor, 8; Harlow Hughes, 8; and Brooklyn Boyd, 11, will be showcased at the annual Homecoming parade, set for Oct. 3.
