| This is a list of inductees of Canada's Walk of Fame. First started in 1998,[1] Canada's Walk of Fame recognizes the achievements and accomplishments of successful Canadians, including actors, directors, athletes, coaches, Film producers, Record producers, singers, musicians, dancers, authors and artists. The walk spans 13 blocks in front of the Roy Thomson Hall, the Princess of Wales Theatre, and the Royal Alexandra Theatre in Toronto, Ontario. Every year, several new Canadians are inducted, with eight being honoured in 2008. There are a total of 115 honourees.[2]
Since 2008, the Walk of Fame also hands out the Canadian Legends Award, which is posthumously awarded "to Canadian pioneers in film, music, sport, arts, and innovation."[3]
Some inductees were unable to attend the ceremony the year they were inducted, and as a result were honoured in a ceremony in a later year. These individuals are mentioned in the "Notes" column, but the year inducted column only includes the first year of induction.
