Pop-punk icon Avril Lavigne, political satirist Rick Mercer and hockey superstar Connor McDavid were among those inducted into Canada's Walk of Fame tonight at a special anniversary gala in Toronto.
The Walk of Fame, honouring notable Canadians for excellence in fields spanning entertainment to humanitarianism, is celebrating its 25th anniversary.
Killers of the Flower Moon actress Tantoo Cardinal, the generation-spanning TV franchise Degrassi, and Michael Budman and Don Green, co-founders of outdoor lifestyle brand Roots, are also among this year's inductees.

About: Avril Lavigne
Avril Lavigne has made history, smashed records, and consistently blazed a trail of her own as an uncompromising force in music and culture. Beyond selling 50 million albums worldwide with 12.5 million units sold in the U.S. alone, she has notched eight GRAMMY® Award nominations in categories such as “Best New Artist” and “Song of the Year” twice for “Complicated” and “I’m with You.”
In addition, she has received eight JUNO Awards, including “Artist of the Year,” and multiple JUNO Fan Choice Award wins. Her catalogue comprises the septuple platinum Let Go [2002], triple-platinum Under My Skin [2004], double-platinum The Best Damn Thing [2007], gold-selling Goodbye Lullaby [2011], gold-selling Avril Lavigne [2013], and Head Above Water [2019] highlighted by definitive smashes such as “Complicated,” “Sk8er Boi,” “Girlfriend,” “Here’s To Never Growing Up,” and “Head Above Water.”
As such, she remains “one of the Soundscan-era’s top-selling artists releasing albums in the U.S.” and “the third bestselling Canadian female artist of all time.” She earned a spot in the Top 10 of Billboard’s “Best of the 2000s” chart and holds a Guinness World Record as “the youngest female solo artist to top the UK chart,” while “Girlfriend” emerged as “the first music video to reach 100 million views on YouTube.” She has also earned multiple #1‘s around the globe. Her social media following notably exceeds 93.8 million fans worldwide.
Kicking off her biggest and boldest chapter to date, Avril made her debut for Travis Barker’s DTA Records on February 25, 2022, with the release of her seventh studio album Love Sux. The album debuted in the top 10 on the Billboard Top 200 Chart, marking Avril’s 6th top 10 album on the chart, and landed at #2 on Billboard’s Top Album Sales Chart, Top Rock Albums Chart, and Top Alternative Albums Chart. The 12-track album features a slew of all-star collaborators including Travis Barker, Machine Gun Kelly, Mark Hoppus, blackbear, and more.
Rolling Stone hailed the album as “absolutely killer,” while Forbes proclaimed: “Love Sux is Lavigne ready to reclaim her status as a true superstar.” Love Sux skyrocketed to the top of the charts all across the globe, including a #3 debut on the U.K. albums chart, marking Avril’s highest-charting album in the market in 15 years.
On June 4, 2022, Avril celebrated her iconic debut album with the release of Let Go (20th Anniversary Edition), which features 6 bonus tracks, including her newly recorded studio version of “Breakaway” plus Let Go sessions rarities. On August 31, 2022, Avril was honored with a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. In 2023 she cinched her 10th Juno Award and rounded out her Love Sux World Tour with a sold-out European/UK. Avril shows no signs of slowing down, as she continues her reign as a female pioneer of the pop-punk genre.
