Early life and education

She is a native of Saskatoon and was adopted at birth. She was adopted by her mother, Elizabeth. Elizabeth went to the same church as Kereluk's biological mother, who was an unmarried teen when she gave birth. The family moved from Saskatoon to Vancouver, and, later, to Summerland in the Okanagan.[2]

Elizabeth remained unmarried until Kereluk was 12 years old, when she married Bud Kereluk, who worked as a carpenter.[2] Cynthia is one of ten adopted siblings who had polio as a child and who she helped with recovery.[3] Her adoptive mother looked after foster children and mentally and handicapped adults.[2]

Prior to obtaining her degree in education from Simon Fraser University (SFU),[4] Kereluk attended Okanagan College for 3 years.[2] In October 1982, she moved to Edmonton, Alberta.[5]

Her interests include weightlifting, judo and gymnastics. In her early years she won two judo championships, and further awards in poetry, story and drama championships.[6]

Kereluk worked as a teacher in Kelowna after completing her degree at SFU.[2] Prior to entering the pageants, Kereluk worked as an aerobics instructor in Edmonton.[7]

Kereluk won the title of Miss Edmonton.[5] In 1984, she won the Miss Canada title[8] and competed in Miss Universe 1984. From 1985 to 2000 she reached both a Canadian (CFRN)[7] and American (Lifetime cable network)[9] audience through television with her exercise program, Everyday Workout.[4] At the time, Everyday Workout's sale to Lifetime was the second largest U.S. sale of an Edmonton-produced television program.[10] Kereluk contributed the fitness program for Chantal Jakel and Denise Hamilton's 1999 cookbook, Fit to Cook.[11]
