You can find many Famous Canadians on the internet but here I am going to talk about the most known people born in Canada till now. One of the most talkable and Famous Canadians is Jim Carrey when it comes to comedy or laughter. Jim Carrey was born in a small town of Newmarket in the region of Ontario to Kathleen. Jim Carrey got recognition from his performances majorly in Dumb and Dumber, Ace Ventura: Pet Detective, Liar Liar and Bruce Almighty. He has won two "Golden Globe Awards" for his performances in "The Truman Show" and "Man on the Moon". Almost certainly that is the reason for Carrey to be in all time famous Canadians.
Let me tell you about Terry Fox, he is not much popular in entire world however, in Canada he is one of the most famous Canadians of all eras. Terry Fox was diagnosed with cancer in his leg in 1977, got his leg cut and was given an artificial leg, he was being treated, but still doctors said he had 50% chances of living. During his treatment of chemotherapy and physical therapy, Terry was stunned to know that a very little research was done in Canada. At that time he decided to run a "Marathon of Hope" across Canada to raise the money for cancer research, but after running for 143 days, Terry's doctor told him, his cancer was back and had spread to his lungs.
He died without completing the marathon but succeeded in raising $23 million for donation to cancer research in Canada. With that donation, new cancer research center in British Columbia has been established. Now, every year on the death centenary of Terry, many schools and communities organize "Terry Fox Run" to hoist money for research on cancer in the country.
Everyone is familiar with Canadian obsession with hockey, especially ice hockey, so, talking about a hockey player among famous Canadians is of critical importance. Every Canadian is familiar with the name of Wayne Gretzky; he was a great asset to National Hockey League (NHL). His birthplace was the city of Brantford in the province of Ontario, Canada. From small age, Wayne was a much better hockey player and played well than any other member of his team. Wayne was not built physically strong, fast or bulky that may be an advantage as for his game was concerned, however he had surprisingly superb perception about the game. He always seemed to know where the puck (ice hockey ball) was coming from or which direction it was going to move to and somehow he was always there to stop the ball or play it in the right direction. Wayne Gretzky does not have a single mistake in his entire career.
During his era in NHL, Canada won the championship four times. He got 30 other trophies beside these championships; he used the jersey with the number 99.
