Library and Archives Canada Declares Ryan Reynolds a National Treasure

April 1, 2022 – Gatineau, Quebec – Library and Archives Canada (LAC)

Ryan Rodney Reynolds (born October 23, 1976) is a Canadian actor and film producer from Vancouver, British Columbia, who is widely acknowledged as one of Canada’s top Ryans.

The Librarian and Archivist of Canada, Leslie Weir, described his priceless value to Canadians: “In addition to being universally loved by the public, Ryan is a rare gem who has given back so much in charity work to the community and the greater cultural milieu. We are delighted to count Ryan Reynolds among our national treasures, and we must protect him at all costs.”

When not on extended loan to the U.S. National Archives, Ryan Reynolds will be preserved by LAC in a climate- and ultraviolet-controlled vault at its new, world-class Preservation Storage Facility in Gatineau, Quebec, for future generations to enjoy.
