Actor Jason Priestley, hockey great Darryl Sittler and filmmaker Deepa Mehta are among the latest inductees to Canada's Walk of Fame.
Organizers of the Canadian honour unveiled the 2016 list at a midday event in Toronto Tuesday.
The list also includes fashion insider Jeanne Beker, musician Corey Hart and the late actor and director Al Waxman.
"Each year, we shine the spotlight on remarkable Canadians who have excelled in their careers and have contributed to the cultural fabric of this country, inspiring future generations to follow in their footsteps," Melanie Hurley, CEO of Canada's Walk of Fame, said in a statement.
"We are proud to honour this year's inductees whose achievements will leave a lasting legacy for generations of Canadians."
This year's festivities will include the presentation of the Allan Slaight Honour — an award recognizing young, rising music stars who have achieved international success — to country singer Brett Kissel.
The 2016 Walk of Fame honourees will be celebrated at a gala in Toronto on October 6. The ceremony will be filmed by Global television for later broadcast in December.
