==Early life==
McAdams was born in London, Ontario, to Sandra Kay (née Gale), a nurse, and Lance Frederick McAdams, a retired truck driver and furniture mover,〔〔http://humphrysfamilytree.com/Royal/Notes/mcadams.pdf〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Birth announcement in The London Free Press, December 17, 1978 issue )〕 and grew up in nearby St. Thomas.〔 She is of English, Irish, Scottish, and Welsh descent;〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Photos: Rachel McAdams Canadian Cinema Darling )〕 McAdams' maternal fifth great-grandfather, James Gray, was a Loyalist ranger during the American Revolution and fled to Canada after the Battles of Saratoga. McAdams is the eldest of three children with a sister, Kayleen, a celebrity make-up artist, and a brother, Daniel. When she was four years old, she began figure skating, but turned down an opportunity to move to Toronto when she was nine years old for pair skating training.〔 Then skating became merely "a hobby". She competed in skating until the age of eighteen, winning regional awards.〔〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Rachel McAdams )〕〔(Interview: Rachel McAdams, Lacey Chabert, Amanda Seyfried for "Mean Girls" ) April 29, 2004, Dark Horizons〕 She has since said that skating prepared her for physical acting, because it trained her to be "in tune" with her body.〔Interview Magazine. Rachel McAdams by Owen Wilson. July 2005 edition.〕 McAdams was educated at Myrtle Street Public School, and later Central Elgin Collegiate Institute. She did not enjoy academic work and often would pretend to be sick to avoid going to school.〔 Nonetheless, she was active in student life. In addition to playing sports (including volleyball, badminton, and soccer), McAdams served on the student council, participated in the Crimestoppers program, and was a member of the Peer Helping Team.〔 She worked at a McDonald's restaurant during the summer holidays for three years.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Rachel McAdams )〕
McAdams first developed an interest in performing when she was seven years old, and while her parents did not discourage her, they did not "go out and find () an agent". She attended both Disney and Shakespeare summer camps as a child.〔 From the age of twelve, McAdams participated in Original Kids Theatre Company, London productions.〔〔 In her late teens, she directed children's theatre productions.〔 She also was involved in school stage productions, most notably winning a performance award at the Sears Ontario Drama Festival.〔 She was inspired by two of her teachers, who taught her English and drama, respectively, in the eleventh and twelfth grades.〔 McAdams intended to take Cultural studies at the University of Western Ontario before being persuaded by her drama teacher that a professional acting career was a viable option.〔〔 She enrolled in York University's four-year theatre program and graduated with a Bachelor of Fine Arts honors degree in 2001. While at university, McAdams worked with the Toronto-based Necessary Angel Theatre Company.〔(Bio ) at Yahoo Movies〕
