Looking for a full list of all names mentioned in Discover Canada (2021)

[Skyshaard]

Hi everyone,

I’ve been preparing for the Canadian citizenship test - I found some good websites that summarize all the dates and historical events.

However, I haven’t been able to find a complete list of all the names mentioned in the Discover Canada book.

I’m hoping someone here might already have compiled such a list, or know where to find one. Ideally, I’m looking for something comprehensive that follows the order of appearance in the 2021 version of Discover Canada (with names from the main text, sidebars, and captions). Doesn't matter if it's free or paid.

Thank you,
Sky

Not that it answers your question, but if you're at the point where you've been through the summary of dates and historical events, which obviously includes the people associated with these events, you're probably more than ready to pass the test.
Anyone who prepares it a minimum is a guaranteed pass, and often with 19 or 20/20. You'll find out soon that your request is probably overkill.

Yes, but there are lots of names that do not have a date/event associated with them (e.g., Donovan Bailey or Sir Frederick Banting of Toronto, and Charles Best, whom I randomly picked from the Modern Canada chapter).

I am doing mock tests and I am passing most of them (I haven't even finished the book yet), but the list would be a safeguard for sure.

Faire point, but I've been lurking here for years and have not seen such a list.
I'd say that the main reason is that most important names are in the historical events sections anyway (it's hard to skip MacDonald if we're speaking about 1867 right? :d), so it would mostly be a repeat.
The only way to get one would be to compile it yourself in a second read of thebook I think, but again, it's overkill, really, especially for someone who can list the names you dropped, as the (usually few!) questions you may get about individuals are much closer in difficulty to "Who was the 1st prime minister of Canada?" than "is Adrienne Clarkson the 24th, 25th, 26th or 27th Governor general?", and in all cases may just be the difference between passing with 18 or 19 or doing so with no mistake at all.
