Categories: Canada, Notables


This is a high level category. Please do not add individual profiles. Add profiles to the narrowest category possible. See How to Categorize.

This category is managed by the Canada Project in association with the Categorization Project. For assistance with this or related categories ask in G2G making sure to tag your question with both categorization and Notables.

This category is designed for notable people who immigrated to what is now Canada and had an impact on shaping its history. 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 the sake of defining the term "Pioneer" in the context of Canada, we will call somebody a Canadian pioneer if they are notable, were born somewhere else, immigrated to a place which is now part of Canada, and achieved something to qualify them as notable before that part of Canada entered Confederation. For Canadians who do not qualify as "notable", or did not become notable before that part of Canada entered Confederation, please use some other appropriate category.

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 pioneer became notable.
