From your town/area where you grew up? Or where you currently live?
I am from Vancouver Island, and so are:
Nellie Furtado, Diana Krall, Pamela Anderson, producer David Foster, basketball star Steve Nash, Kim Cattrall.
In Burnaby, where I currently reside (suburb of Vancouver) we have Michael J Fox, Jason Priestley, and Michael Buble.
I didn't know Pam Anderson was Canadian.

Eminem and Kid Rock are from Detroit.
Tim Allen, Kristen Bell, Gilda Radner, Lily Tomlin, Tom Selleck, Bob Seger, Alice Cooper, Iggy Pop, Madonna, Mitch Albom, Robin Williams, That's just the start.
I live NEAR Wheaton, Illinois, which is where the Belushi's grew up. And not far from Wheaton is Glen Ellyn, where I believe Gary Sinise grew up!
Also, Melissa McCarthy (Molly of "Mike & Molly") grew up in Plainfield, IL, which isn't too far from me either.
Jenny McCarthy, who I just learned yesterday is Melissa McCarthy's cousin, grew up in Chicago, but when she was dating Brian Urlacher, she moved to Geneva, IL, which is just miles from where I work. Not sure if she's still there, though.
Cindy Crawford is from Dekalb, IL, which is about 1/2 hour or so west of where I work.
The Cusacks are from Evanston, but that's a north suburb, so it's not very close to me.
Billy Corgan, from The Smashing Pumpkins, is from Glendale Heights, IL, which is right smack dab next door to me.
Well, I am from the Boston area, there are SO many, definitely couldn't list them all.
Some notable names born in and around Boston: Kurt Russell, Matt Damon, the Kennedy clan, Barbara Walters, Leonard Nimoy, Edgar Allen Poe, Ralph Waldo Emerson, Emily Dickinson, Bette Davis, Paul Revere, John Hancock, Mark Wahlberg, Ellen Pompeo, Matt Leblanc, Matthew Perry, James Spader, Uma Thurman, Dr. Suess, Donna Summer, Rob Zombie, Geena Davis, Howie Long, Steve Carrell, Ben Franklin, Sam Adams, Nathaniel Hawthorne, Leonard Bernstien . . . . the list goes on.
My sister went to HS with Vince Vaughn. Lake Forest, IL, Mr. T used to live in Lake Forest, Michael Jordan used to have a house in Highland Park, IL.
I live in Vancouver too..... :O... but its WAshington, not BC... Anyway, we have Greg Biffle (Nascar driver) other than that, not really sure. I know that there are famous people from Seattle and Portland, but i really couldn't name any of them.. I just consider them people ya know? When I was younger, I would go all googly eyed for "famous" people. Not anymore.. They get paid WAY too much for what they do... While we have children starving and people that have fought to defend our country living in the streets. And they are having award shows for themselves getting all kinds of free crap from designers that I will never be able to afford in my lifetime. Just kinda makes me sick.
I live in Upper N.Y. and a Hockey player from our town we live in now in Ga (SPHL) is from my home town and went to school with my nephews. I also was raised, with a gentleman who became a self man millionaire and was in Forbes magazine. (Unfortunatley his name is John Smith) No kidding!

Mr. T used to live by Lake Forest hospital.
