WELCOME 2000 INDUCTEES
A volunteer Board of Directors selected the inductees from a list of candidates nominated by the public. Over 30,000 ballots were received from people across the country!

TRIBUTE GALA 2000
Simcoe Street was closed off between King and Wellington, bleachers were erected for the public, an area was set aside for the press, and everything was made ready for the unveiling of the stars.

QUOTABLE QUOTES:
"...Canada's Walk of Fame is a tool which provides us all with a showcase to honour great Canadians who serve as ambassadors of our culture."

TAKING THE WALK
If you want to get there, take a walk along King Street West in Toronto's Theatre District. But if you want your very own star on Canada's Walk of Fame, there is no singular path.
