Catherine Swing is a Canadian television personality, actor, producer, director and former Miss Canada.
Swing won the Miss Canada pageant in 1978,[1][2] after having won the Miss Toronto crown while she was a student at York University.[3] Over the next year she made public appearances in different parts of the country.[4] She talked with the challenges of being Miss Canada with the press, most notably the lack of control over her own schedule.[5] Swing was not able to compete in the 1978 Miss Universe pageant as had what the papers called "marriage plans".[6]
In 1980, she created Just Like Mom, a television game show which ran on CTV until 1985; from the second season onwards she co-hosted the show with her then-husband Fergie Olver.[7] In 2009 a new version of the show was announced and Swing served as a consultant.[8][9] After Just Like Mom concluded, Swing continued to work in television as an actor and director.[citation needed]
