Categories: Canada | North America, Notables

This category and the subcategories under it are managed through cooperation between the Canada Project, the Categorization Project, and the Notables Project. For assistance with this or related categories, post a question in the G2G forum, and tag your question with CANADA, CATEGORIZATION, and NOTABLES.

This category hierarchy is intended to list notable, famous, or historically significant Canadians. For WikiTree's purposes, a person is defined as "notable" if they have an entry in Wikipedia, or some some similar resource such as The Canadian Encyclopedia, the Dictionary of Canadian Biography, the Canada Heirloom Series, or some similar resource, or if they have been designated as a Person of National Historic Significance, or awarded the Order of Canada, or some other recognition. For Canadians who do not qualify as "notable", please use some other appropriate category such as the categories under the Occupations category, as well as location categories for their place of birth and death.

Note: The Categorization help page asks you to assign the narrowest possible category, so please use the appropriate category for the province or territory where a notable Canadian was born or worked.

If you're interested in notable Canadians, please join the Canada Project!
