Canada’s Walk of Fame recently announced the names of the 2015 inductees, bringing the total number inducted to date to 161 – stars like musician Michael Bublé, hockey commentators Don Cherry and Ron MacLean, along with author Lawrence Hill and Olympic rower Silken Laumann will join the ranks.

Jason Priestley will be returning to host the 2015 Canada’s Walk of Fame Broadcast Show.

    Bublé

    Cherry and MacLean

    Hill

“Our mission at Canada’s Walk of Fame is simple – to celebrate Canadian excellence, and to inspire the next generation,” said Melanie Hurley, CEO of Canada’s Walk of Fame, in a press release. “This year’s inductees truly represent this mission, and the legacy they are creating for Canada is something we should all be proud of.”

Canada’s Walk of Fame is awarding Lorne Greene the 2015 Cineplex Legends Inductee, sponsored by Cineplex Entertainment, to honour the late Canadian actor’s long and respected career. Each year, the Cineplex Legends Inductee is given posthumously to a Canadian pioneer in film and television, music, sports, arts or innovation. Cineplex Entertainment is proud to sponsor the Legends Inductee and Canada’s Walk of Fame.

Seventeen-year-old singer-songwriter and multi-platinum recording artist Shawn Mendes will receive this year’s Allan Slaight Honour that recognizes young, inspirational Canadians who have achieved international success in the music industry.
