Hi Liam,
Thank you for your question regarding famous Canadians and thank you for using the Ask Us service.
Your question is certainly subjective in manner. There are quite a few Canadians who have made an impact on our country in terms of political, social and cultural change. It really depends on the scope of your assignment and your opinion of what makes someone famous.
As a reference it might be good to look at the online version of Canadian Encyclopedia. There are many famous people such as Nellie McClung or Tommy Douglas who might be of interest to you. The Dictionary of Canadian Biography is another source that might be of interest to you.You also might want to check with your school if they have any subject guides relating to Canadian history.
Good luck with your research and once again thank you for using Ask Us.
Mr. Halfyard
