As Canadians, we are often so busy following the lives and antics of American celebrities that we sadly ignore our own. Now is your opportunity to change all that. Saturday, September 6th is the time that we will celebrate our own when Canada’s Walk of Fame honours 8 new Canadian celebrities. To date 107 fabulous Canadians have been inducted.

The 2008 inductees are:
• Bryan Adams – recording artist
• Frances Bay - actor
• James Cameron – director and producer
• Michael J. Fox – actor and activist
• k.d. lang – recording artist
• The Kids in the Hall – comedy troupe
• Steve Nash – NBA star
• Daria Werbowy – supermodel

Although Brian Adams (1998) and Michael J. Fox (2000) have previously been inducted, they were unable to attend the ceremonies.

The red carpet event begins at 5:00 PM. Stake out your spot outside the Four Seasons Centre for Performing Arts located at 145 Queen Street West (Queen Street and University Avenue) and watch the celebrities arrive.

Canada’s Walk of Fame began in 1998 to honour Canadians who have made their mark in music, sport, film, sports, and performing, literary or visual arts. In order to be an inductee there are certain criteria that must be met.
• Inductee must have been born in Canada or have spent their formative or creative years in Canada.
• Inductee must have a minimum of 10 years experience in their field.
• Inductee must have had national or international impact on Canada’s Heritage.

This is the 10th Anniversary of Canada’s Walk of Fame and the first ever inaugural Inductee Ball will take place at the Sheraton Centre’s Grand Ballroom.

Have a walk along King Street and look at all of the stars. Here is a map of the inductees and where you can find them.
