A number of Canadian talents in acting, music and sports received stars on Canada’s Walk of Fame this weekend, including actors Rachel McAdams and Ryan Reynolds, musician Jeff Healey, and Canadian Olympic hockey player Hayley Wickenheiser.
Canada’s Walk of Fame added six new inductees – these outstanding Canadians, who have excelled in their respective fields and made notable contributions to Canada’s cultural legacy, walked the Canada’s Walk of Fame Yellow Carpet, sponsored by Sun Life Financial, at the Sony Centre for the Performing Arts in Toronto.
“We are proud to welcome these six new outstanding honourees to Canada’s Walk of Fame,” said Melanie (Berry) Hurley, CEO of Canada’s Walk of Fame, in a press release prior to the event. “Each have impacted Canada’s social and cultural heritage across the country and around the world. They are inspiring and remind us that anything can be achieved with hard work, dedication, passion and integrity. They are ambassadors of Canada and instill pride in our country.”
The Canada’s Walk of Fame televised special will be broadcast nationally on Global on Friday, December 19th at 8pm.
