The face of a ten-year-old Bermudian girl is gracing billboards across the Canadian province of Manitoba — after she was chosen to star in a new advertising campaign.

Jaxson Correia was picked to help promote a new exhibition of northern species at Assiniboine Park Zoo in Winnipeg.

According to her proud grandfather Tony Correia, the youngster moved to the city with her parents Scott and Brooke Correia and brother Cruz, nine, about five years ago and has previously had a paid acting job in a professional production.

“She’s a real little whippersnapper,” said the former businessman and MP. “She’s a little actress. She’s quite a go-getter.”

The 84-year-old, of Smith’s, said his granddaughter’s face was on billboards, posters and buses across Manitoba.

“I was over the moon [when I heard],” he said. “Especially to be considered a foreigner over there, to be selected. It was a great honour for her.”

The ‘Journey to Churchill’ exhibition opened last month at the zoo, featuring polar bear, arctic fox, muskox, snowy owl and seal habitats, as well as underwater viewing tunnels and an eight-minute film experience inside Manitoba’s largest 360-degree theatre.

Jaxson’s father, who played for Teachers rugby team on the Island, runs a maintenance business in Winnipeg and her mother is an interior designer.
