Alan Thicke, Christine Sinclair among latest Canadian Walk of Fame inductees
TORONTO – Legendary runner and cancer activist Terry Fox, producer Bob Ezrin, actor Victor Garber and pianist Oscar Peterson are among the latest inductees to Canada’s Walk of Fame.
Rounding out the class of 2013 — announced this morning at a news conference — are actor Alan Thicke, Olympic soccer hero Christine Sinclair and brother activists Craig and Marc Kielburger.
Since 1998, the Walk of Fame has honoured Canadians who have excelled in music, sport, film, television, as well as the literary, visual, performing arts, science and innovation.
Inductee names are engraved on stars, which are then displayed along King Street West and Simcoe Street in Toronto.
Past inductees include rocker Bryan Adams, TV host Alex Trebek, comedian Phil Hartman, and hockey great Bobby Orr.
The Walk of Fame ceremony will take place September 21 at Toronto’s Elgin Theatre.
The show will be broadcast nationally on Global Television and Slice this fall.
