Canadians in Space

In 1983, the National Research Council of Canada created the Canadian Astronaut Program (now run by the Canadian Space Agency (CSA)). Since the first recruitment campaign in 1983, 14 Canadians have completed astronaut training and 10 have participated in missions to space (see Canadian Astronauts). A minority of Canadians have joined orbital or suborbital flights as citizen-astronauts or space tourists. The following list includes information about Canadians who have travelled to space as astronauts, citizen-astronauts or space tourists.

Canadians in the All-American Girls Professional Baseball League (AAGPBL)

The All-American Girls Professional Baseball League (AAGPBL) operated between 1943 and 1954. A total of 68 Canadian women from six provinces signed contracts to play on the circuit. It was later immortalized by the Hollywood movie A League of Their Own (1992). Canadian players were among the best pitchers and hitters in the league. Mary “Bonnie” Baker starred on the field and appeared on the league’s behalf on TV and in magazines. Helen Fox led the league as a pitcher, Eleanor Callow was the league’s all-time best power hitter and Helen (Callaghan) Candaele St. Aubin was known as “the feminine Ted Williams.” The Canadians who played in the AAGPBL were inducted as a group into the Canadian Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum in 1998. Candaele St. Aubin was inducted individually in 2021.

Canuck

“Canuck” is a nickname for a Canadian — sometimes bearing a negative implication, more often wielded with pride. It goes back at least as far as the 1830s, and its meaning has changed over time. The word “Canuck” may be most familiar today as the name of a National Hockey League franchise, the Vancouver Canucks (see British Columbia). In the 20th century, the term enjoyed a much broader use.

Caribbean Music in Canada

Caribbean music is an important component of musical life in Canada on two grounds: firstly, significant numbers of Caribbean peoples have immigrated to Canada, particularly beginning in the 1960s, and have continued the musical traditions of their homelands in the new environment; and secondly as early as the 1920s successive styles of Caribbean-derived music began to form part of the fabric of Euro-American pop music and thus part of the musical experience of many Canadians over the years.
