Canada's Walk of Fame
Two hundred and four maple-leaf stars pressed into the pavement — athletes, cartoonists, scientists, comedians — all underfoot along King Street's theatre row.
Coming soon on iOS — be first to walk Toronto offline.
Since 1998, this 13-block stretch of sidewalk has tracked who Canadians decided mattered most, through a public nomination process that still draws thousands of entries a year. The range is the point: one star might honour a hockey coach, the next a philanthropist or a writer.
What to look for
- Maple leaf-shaped stars embedded directly in the sidewalk pavement across 13 blocks of King Street and Simcoe Street
- The three anchor buildings framing the walk: Roy Thomson Hall, The Princess of Wales Theatre, and The Royal Alexandra Theatre
- The breadth of inductee fields stamped on each star — categories span activists, scientists, musicians, comedians, and cartoonists
Free and always open; follow King Street between Roy Thomson Hall and The Royal Alexandra Theatre, then check Simcoe Street for additional stars.
