8. CANADA'S CULTURE

Canadians have historically contributed a lot to the world culture. Canadian culture has a heavy influence of the British culture and traditions. In recent times however, one can also notice an influence of American culture. Historians have also revealed the influence of Aboriginal cultures and traditions.

Canadians have made significant contributions to literature in English and French. Novelists, poets, singers and songwriters have brought Canadian stories to light.

In the visual arts, Canada is perhaps best-known for the Group of Seven founded in 1920 who developed a style of painting to capture the rugged wilderness landscapes. A lot of art museums and galleries are scattered all over the country, for example, the National Gallery of Canada, the Winnipeg Art Gallery, and others.

Canada has a long and respected performing arts history with a network of regional theatres and internationally-known performing art companies: the Royal Winnipeg Ballet, the Atlantic Ballet Theatre of Canada, Canadian Opera Company, National Ballet of Canada. Everyone knows Celine Dion, Pamela Anderson, Keanu Reeves who are proud to call Canada their homeland.

Celine Dion is one of the World’s greatest divas. Who would have known this girl from the Quebec countryside would rise to such iconic stardom? Her husband Rene Angelil knew, and his determination to make this small-town-girl a star paid off in the biggest way. The climb was difficult, but now, with several gold records and awards to her name, Celine Dion’s well-managed career is proof that once you set to follow your heart’s desires, success is sure to follow.

Jim Carry always knew who and what he wanted to be; when he was only ten years old, he sent his “resume” to the Carol Burnett Show, and would perform comedy routines at school regularly. Now he is the highest paid comic actor working today.

There are a diverse set of museums of different kinds. Among them are the National Museum of Science and Technology, Canadian Museum of Civilization, the Canadian Museum of Human Rights, the living PrairieMuseum.
