This year was the biggest induction ever to Canada’s Walk of Fame, and the guests of honour, from Lifehouse to Loverboy to April Wine, all celebrated the achievement on Thursday, September 28. Each of the 13 rock and roll recipients took to Massey Hall for an evening that began with a star-studded red carpet, where all of the inducted bands and musicians unveiled their commemorative stars. Live performances and speeches capped off the presentation part of the ceremony, and a historical night was memorable for all.
