Meet Terry Fox

MacLeod, Elizabeth,


Terry Fox was born in Winnipeg, Manitoba, and raised in Port Coquitlam, British Columbia. Like most kids, he loved sports. Terry was only 18 years old when he was diagnosed with bone cancer and had to have his right leg amputated above the knee. During his hospital stay he was profoundly affected by the experiences of other young cancer patients. So he decided to do something about it. He decided to run across Canada to raise money and awareness for cancer research. He trained hard for his "Marathon of Hope" and on April 12, 1980 he began, dipping his artificial leg in the waters off St. John's Newfoundland. Terry's plan was to run all the way across the country. As Terry pounded the miles, more and more people took note, cheering the young hero on -- and donating to his cause. The Marathon of Hope captured the attention and the hearts of Canadians, and people all over the world. 5753 kilometers into his run, Terry had to stop. The cancer had spread to his lungs, and he passed away the following year. Canadians were devastated at the loss of the heroic young man. But Terry's inspiring legacy was just beginning.

Meet David Suzuki

MacLeod, Elizabeth,


As a young boy, David Suzuki loved spending time in the glorious British Columbia outdoors with his father. The racist policies against Japanese Canadians during World War II put an abrupt end to that when David's family was sent to a Japanese internment camp in 1942. After the war, the Suzuki family was forced to leave B.C., settling in Ontario. David immersed himself in learning, earning a PhD in zoology, becoming a professor, and eventually taking his love of science education into the public sphere with his shows on CBC radio and television. His connection to nature, commitment as a scientist and media presence found David among the first to raise the alarm on how human behaviour is endangering all life on Earth. He has worked tirelessly to bring attention and importantly, offer solutions to this critical issue. Climate change is one of the most important issues of our time, and David Suzuki has led the charge in education and activism in Canada for decades.

Meet J. Armand Bombardier

MacLeod, Elizabeth,


The award-winning Scholastic Canada Biography series highlights the lives of remarkable Canadians whose achievements have inspired and changed the lives of those who followed. Born in 1907, Joseph-Armand grew up in a Valcourt, a small village in Quebec. Like many village places in rural and Northern Canada, Valcourt was often cut off from the world in the winter after snow made the roads impassable. Even when he was a kid, Armand was interested in inventing a vehicle that could drive through snow. As an adult, the passion to invent a snow machine became a serious ambition after his two-year-old son died from appendicitis. It was winter and they could not get him to the hospital. Armand persisted even after many failures, until he finally accomplished his goal. His B7 snow machine was used to deliver milk and mail and it saved lives. But Armand didn't stop there! He continued to invent and innovate his whole life, developing machines like the Muskeg tractor and the famous Ski-doo, which revolutionized the way people live and work. Written by award-winning author Elizabeth MacLeod, this portrait of Joseph Armand Bombardier couples simple yet compelling writing with comic-flavoured illustrations by Mike Deas that help bring his fascinating story to life!
