Author Description

This Standard Canadian Reference Work is The Most Comprehensive and authoritative biographical source on notable living Canadians. Those listed are carefully selected because of the positions they hold in Canadian society, or because of the contribution they have made to life in Canada. Included are outstanding Canadians from all walks of life: business, academia, politics, sports, architecture, and the arts -- in fact, from every area of human activity. Biographees are given the opportunity to update their biographies annually so that all information is up to date and guaranteed to be accurate. In addition, between 1500 and 2000 new biographies are added to each new edition. Detailed entries give: date and place of birth, education, family details, career information, memberships, creative works, honours and awards, and full addresses. No other source provides such a wealth of information about Canadians most likely to be of interest to library users. Useful to students as a career and mentor guide, Canadian Who's Who is invaluable to everyone interested in Canadian culture and history.
