Biographies of Canadians

Individuals who bring innovation, hard work, intellect, originality, and courage to their communities are the cornerstones of societies. Some of these people are famous Canadians who are cited with certain milestones of history. But they are also those who signalled themselves by the uniqueness of their lives – explorers, scientists, inventors, cultural figures, political leaders, and all those who have marked the events that continue to create Canada.

Inevitably, these people have lives that are worth being told. They tell the story of how talent was developed, how success was achieved, how tenacity and hard work have paid off, and how obstacles were surmounted. They provide historical context, allowing for a deeper understanding of the period, the place and the conditions that made the ordinary become extraordinary.

The biographies of Canadians are really a view of Canada through the lens of individual lives.
