Famous Nova ScotiansThere are quite a few but not all were born here like Alexander Graham Bell who moved there later on in his career and people like Demi Moore and James Brolin who have seasonal homes here.

Without going into politicians and those famous for the practical, some native Nova Scotians that are more widely known for entertaining us are:

Donald Sutherland (Actor and father of Kiefer Sutherland)

Ellen Page (Actress)

Art Hindle (Actor)

Most of the Trailer Park Boys cast

Nova Scotia produces a lot of musical performers, here are just a few:

Portia White (musician)

Sarah McLachlan (musician)

Anne Murray (musician)

Rita McNeil (musician)

Hank Snow (musician)

Natalie MacMaster (musician)

Ashley MacIsaac (musician)

Matt Minglewood (musician)

Barra MacNeils (Music Band)

The Rankin Family (Music Band)

Sloan (Music Band)

Here are a few of our Sports figures:

Kirk Johnson (Boxer)

Rocky Johnson (Boxer and father of Dwayne Johnson "The Rock")

Trevor Berbick (Boxer - heavy weight champion - last man to fight Ali and Berbick won the fight)

Al McInnis (Hockey Player - Calgary Flames)

Sidney Crosby (Hockey Player - Pittsburg Penguins)

Colleen Jones (World Championships Curling plus a local TV News personality)

The above are just few. "Famous" is a pretty vague because people are famous to different people for different things. Those famous to Nova Scotians, may not be famous anywhere else in Canada or the World.
