Linda Douma (born 1944) is a former Miss Canada.[1]

Douma was born in Tofino and raised in Sidney, British Columbia, where her family moved when she was an infant. She studied anthropology at the University of Victoria.[2]

Her selection in 1965 as Miss Canada was based on a talent competition, where she sang a folk song, and on her appearance in a bathing suit and in an evening dress. Her prizes were a $1000 scholarship and $5000 in various tokens, which included a watch, a necklace, a console radio-phonograph, a wardrobe, and a three-week trip to Hawaii. She was also secured a job with an annual salary exceeding $5000,[3] and was selected to represent Canada at various public events around the world.[4]
