Canada Heros is meant to serve as a resource 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 below will be your research guide. Click one and then click on the selected 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 engine should you wish even more referral sites.

Please note: I am beginning a major update to this site on April 23 and should take about two weeks to complete. Send in any nominations as soon as possible. DJ
