Singer-songwriter Avril Lavigne, Roots co-founders Michael Budman and Don Green, actress Tantoo Cardinal, and arts philanthropist Gary Slaight are among the 2023 Canada’s Walk of Fame inductees.
They join previously announced 2023 inductees Supreme Court Justice Rosalie Silberman Abella; the Canadian youth culture phenomenon Degrassi, hockey star Connor McDavid, comedian and broadcaster Rick Mercer, neuroscientist Dr. Brenda Milner, and 13 of the country’s most influential’70s and ’80 rock music legends — April Wine, Chilliwack, Glass Tiger, Lee Aaron, Lighthouse, Loverboy, Max Webster, Michel Pagliaro, Platinum Blonde, PRISM, Rough Trade, The Parachute Club, and Trooper.
The bands will be honoured at a special induction event, Canada’s Rock of Fame, taking place on Sept. 28 at Massey Hall that will feature a night of tributes, live performances, special guests and a reunion of Canadian DJ legends.
That event will be followed by the annual star-studded Canada’s Walk of Fame 25th Anniversary Celebration at the Metro Toronto Convention Centre on Dec. 2 with a special broadcast to air at a later date on CTV.
The final inductees for 2023 will be announced in the coming months.
