Michael Bublé is perhaps one of the most well-known musical performers from British Columbia. Since he was a young child in Burnaby, he knew he wanted to sing – but he had to balance that with his dreams of being a hockey player. This love of singing and hockey has influenced his style and passions to this day.

Apart from being a prolific actor, he also helped pave the labour rights for performers in British Columbia.

He founded Vancouver’s well-known Shakespeare festival and helped shape BC’s theatrical future.
