(Leaderpost.com) – Musicians Randy Bachman and Sarah McLachlan are among the six latest inductees to Canada’s Walk of Fame, which plans to move its sidewalk “stars” – currently located in Toronto’s entertainment district – to a monument-style display in an undisclosed location.

President and founding director Peter Soumalias revealed the location change Tuesday after announcing this year’s list of honourees, who also include the late comedy actor Phil Hartman, ballerina Sonia Rodriguez, football player Russ Jackson, and the 1972 national men’s hockey team.

“We do have long-term plans, some which we’ll announce later this year and some which we’ll announce next year in our 15th anniversary, and at the forefront is relocating the stars that are currently on King Street,” Soumalias said.

“We have spent a lot of time analyzing and researching that, and we will go to more of a monument than a side-walk star – something at eye level and something that will be thoroughly interactive with the people that will come down to visit.”
