Aleaha More was crowned Miss Rodeo Canada 2006 on November 11, 2005 during the evening performance of the 32nd annual Canadian Finals Rodeo.

Twenty-two year old Aleaha hails from Virden, Manitoba, and is currently studying Visual Communications in Medicine Hat, Alberta. A former Manitoba High School Rodeo Queen, Aleaha was proud to represent the historic Medicine Hat Stampede as their 2004 Princess.

As the First Lady of Canadian Professional Rodeo, Aleaha will travel throughout Western Canada and into the United States as the official ambassador for the Canadian Professional Rodeo Association.

“It is an honour to carry the title of Miss Rodeo Canada. As a young girl, I admired Miss Rodeo Canada and I hope to inspire others to reach for their dreams just as she has encouraged me to reach mine. Across Canada, we embrace the sport of rodeo that is rich in history, heritage and patriotism. It will be with great pride that I carry our Canadian flag and I encourage everyone to take in the fast paced, action-packed excitement of professional rodeo.”

Five-time Canadian steer wrestling champion Lee Graves claimed his first world steer wrestling title at the National Finals Rodeo in Las Vegas, NV.

The 34-year-old bulldogger from Calgary, AB, finished first, second, third and fourth places two times each, as well as fifth place one time over the ten days in Las Vegas. It took him a total of 39.2 seconds to wrangle all ten of his steers, winning the $40,360 aggregate bonus and buckle.

Graves also set a new WNFR earnings record for the bulldoggers, making $126,412 over the ten-day span. Add in the $80,003 he made during the regular season and he had a $206,415 season on the world circuit.

Graves also made $38,452 at the Canadian Finals Rodeo this past November, which is not included in the above totals.

Only two other Canadians have ever claimed world steer wrestling titles. Dalemead, AB’s Mark Roy did it in 1992 and Amisk, AB’s Blaine Pederson in 1994.
