My library has a database, Biography in Context, which offers biographies of famous people and is searchable by various fields including nationality, gender, ethnicity, birth dates, and more. A few of the Canadian women I found by searching there:

LM Montgomery, Novelist
Mary Pickford (Gladys Louise Smith), Actor
Fay Wray, Actor
Sheila Finestone, Legislator
Aimee Semple McPherson, Evangelist
Elizabeth Mann Borgese, Environmentalist

Maureen Forester, Opera singer
Helen Sawyer Hogg, Astronomer
Kate Fox, Mystic (seriously?)
Molly Kool, Ship captain
Pearl Hart, robber
Louise McKinney, Prohibitionist
Laura Ingersoll Secord, Patriot
I went through and picked out a variety of professions for you. Check and see if your library has this fantastic resource, or take a look at a few of these women and see if any of them are suitable for your assignment.
