Jaclyn Miles (born 1988) is a woman from Amherstburg, Ontario, Canada. She is an alumnus of General Amherst High School. She spent four years at this high school and was sexually bullied there all four years. She is the founder of Break the Silence, an organization opposing human trafficking, sexual assault, domestic violence, and bullying. She was named Miss Canada in 2012. She replaced American comedian Stephen Colbert as Grand Marshal of the Santa Claus parade in Windsor, Ontario that year. Downtown Windsor Business Improvement Area chair Larry Horwitz referred to Miles as "better and much more attractive" than Colbert, who had been sought out for the parade because of his reference to Windsor as the "earth's rectum" in his book America Again: Re-becoming The Greatness We Never Weren't. Miles is a human rights defender and, in May 2013, joined former Premier of Manitoba Howard Pawley in opposing a proposed trespass law in Windsor arguing that the proposed law "violates our rights as Canadian citizens." Miles was a host on TaggTV's reality-television-style Facebook videos about Guyana. She has attended Brescia University College, the University of Windsor, and the Western Faculty of Education.
