Sault Ste. Marie Walk of Fame

The by-law established a "Walk of Fame Program," to be operated by the city and the Downtown Association with the intent of honouring Sault Ste.

By extension, the Walk was viewed as a means of enhancing tourism in the city and attracting patrons to the Downtown shopping and business district.

Prospective names for the first set of Walk of Fame inductees were submitted by the general public to the city clerk's office in 2003.

[1] From its 2006 unveiling until the mid-2010s, the Walk of Fame markers were embedded in the south sidewalk of Queen Street, north of the Essar Centre and adjacent Memorial Square.

[5] This plan would eventually be approved by Council, and the restoration project's results were revealed to the public (with the assistance of original Walk inductee Roberta Bondar) on December 7, 2017.

Concerns about the Walk at that time reportedly included the annual frequency of its induction process and whether it created redundancies with other civic awards offered by the City of Sault Ste.

The restored Walk project, which was formally unveiled in December 2017, features cabinets in four locations throughout Downtown Sault Ste.
