Canada Heros is meant to serve as a resource for writing essays where you can get some quick information on the people presented. The heroes are selected at random and there was no intention of selecting the "best" heroes nor to exclude anyone.

Please report any incomplete or incorrect information and broken links. You are encouraged to make nominations for additional heroes to be included on Canada Heros by using the "Email Me" button.

This site is dedicated to Canada's own Terry Fox and the yearly Marathon of Hope campaign. Terry was a remarkable youth and when he discovered he had cancer, Terry put his own comfort aside to help science in its fight against this dreaded disease. Through the inspiration of Terry Fox, participants have raised millions of dollars for cancer research.

Simple definitions of a hero:
1. Someone who acts to help another with no thought for herself or himself.
2. Someone who is admired for achievements or noble qualities.

The category buttons on the left below will be your research guide. Click one and then click on a selected hero picture to get more information on that individual. Data on each Canadian hero is presented briefly in list format. Should you check the related links, you will view additional and more precise info. Also, use the Google search box should you wish even more referral sites.

This is a free website and no registration is required. It is intended to help in the research of information for essays and other school projects. We make use of Google sponsored links to offset expenses involved in operating and maintaining a web site. We hope you take the time to read about the lives of the people presented here as we should be very proud of the contributions Canadians have made to the world.

On some pages, I have logos for the following companies: Canadian National, Canadian Tire, Giant Tiger, McCain's, Pizza Delight, Princess Auto, and Tim Horton's. These commercial links give you information about employment opportunities with each firm. They do NOT sponsor this site nor are they expected to. Their work places and outlets bring together many unknown everyday Canadian heroes.
