There are many reasons to be proud to be Canadian: the natural beauty of the Rockies, universal health care, the Toronto Raptors' 2019 NBA Championship victory, to name just a few. <p>But another point of Canadian pride lies in some of the stars who've gone on to do well for themselves in the world, becoming brand ambassadors of sorts for the country we love. Céline Dion, for instance, is a global sensation who brings a little Canada – in English and French – to every TV interview and stop on her world tours. <p>"She's the soundtrack to my life," one <I><strong>HELLO! Canada</I></strong> reader tells us, contemplating the star's virtues. <p>Another reader praises the strength that Céline has shown in the face of adversity. <p>"She is one of the strongest people I've ever seen – no matter what, she is always positive and happy and that takes courage," they said. <p>From actors and musician to athletes and authors, our stars have touched lives with their talent and kind hearts, and have given us much to cheer about. <p>With that in mind, we took the pulse of the nation in a new online poll, asking readers to choose their favourite home-grown stars, the ones that made them most proud to be Canadian. <p>The result is a singular showcase of people. Some are iconic names, others newcomers. But as a group, one reader points out, they represent what it means to be Canadian. <p>"They show that hard work and good nature ca go together, and I think that embodies us as Canadians," the person wrote in our poll. <p>It's hard to argue with that. Without further ado – and to celebrate Canada Day this year – let us honour the country's favourite stars, as voted by you. <strong>Scroll through the gallery (or click through if you're on desktop) to see your favourite stars!</strong> <p>Photos: &copy; Getty Images
