Ossama Mansour, 24, has been officially sashed as Canada’s Mister Supranational 2026 representative. He and his fellow candidates received their respective sashes from the reigning Mister Supranational 2025 Swann Lavigne, 26, of France, who was accompanied by the reigning Miss Supranational 2025 Eduarda da Silva Braum, 25, of Brazil.

In Mansour’s speech, he expressed gratitude for representing Canada, which he called a land of justice and opportunity. He shared a personal story about how witnessing the impact of addiction on his close friends and family pushed him to pursue a career in social work. He concluded with a powerful message, stating that helping others should never be treated as a privilege, but rather as a guaranteed promise for everyone.

The sashing ceremony was held at Hotel Krakow in Krakow, Poland on July 21, 2026. The city is around 108 kilometers away from Nowy Sacz, Malopolska, Poland.

Born in Montreal, Quebec, Canada, Mansour is the chief executive officer of Clinique Eclat Aven in Montréal. For him, the country is one that represents diversity and offers an opportunity and a chance to everybody in the world to be able to be themselves and be able to display their culture and their love and their passion.

“My dream and my passion has always been to help people,” Mansour said. “That passion was actually supported by my studies—I ended up studying in social work towards helping my community better themselves in different aspects such as addiction and homelessness. That, for me, is very important.”

“I ended up also working with his sister at her medical aesthetics clinic,” Mansour continued. “It’s definitely not the same field, but it helped me discover how to help people with their self-esteem, rediscover themselves, and strengthen their bond.”

According to Mansour, his goal at Mister Supranational 2026 is not just to compete but also to connect with the culture and beauty of Poland and its people. He shared, “I want to be able to connect with all the contestants and delegates from every other country and be able to bring what Canada has to offer to that competition.”

“For me, it’s going to be an amazing opportunity to be able to display the values of Canada and what we bring to the table,” the Montreal native continued. “I’m coming to compete, but I’m also coming to win the connection with the entire world. I want to go ahead and show what Canada is really all about, and I want everybody to know that Canada is here to win the hearts of the entire world.”
