Honorary Canadians

This room is dedicated to the artists who, while not born here, made a meaningful mark on Canadian music. Whether they came to record, perform, collaborate, or simply found inspiration on Canadian soil, these Honorary Canadians became part of the story. Some stayed briefly, others put down roots—but all contributed to the cultural fabric in unique ways. From one-off sessions to lasting legacies, this is a salute to the outsiders who felt right at home in Canada.
