Celebrating our own Canadian Talent

Hi guys!
I hope most  of you will be watching the Canada's Walk of Fame Awards. it will be shown on Global/slice, Sunday Oct. 23 at 8p.m.
More immediate though, is the Festival itself , held Sept. 29 (today!)  til Oct. 2   today, Burton Cummings will be performing at Massey Hall. Chantal Kreviazuk performs Sept. 30  (I just caught up on her life-story so far. Some of it very sad. )  K'Naan is up on Oct 1.   Comedy Night in Canada , Oct 2, features my favourite comedienne Carla Collins, as well as Mike MacDonald, Jessicas Holmes , The Doo Wops and Mark Debonis.  The host will be Jon Dore.
On Oct . 1 at the Elgin Theatre, Red Carpet and Star Unveilings; 3.30-5p.m. Canada's Walk of Fame will be celebrating the 2011 Canada's Walk of Fame Inductees:  Dr. Roberta Bondar, musician Burton Cummings,  athlete Daniel Nestor, Actress  (oops, I forgot! we now should say "actor" even for females) Sandra Oh, comedian Russell Peters, novelist Mordecai Richler  (Loved "Barney's Version , -didn't you?)
and Drake (Allan Slaight Award recipient)  Howie Mandel will be hosting.
Plus, there will be an exciting line-up of free programming at David Pecaut Square(formerly Metro Square)-on sept 30, Oct 1, Oct. 2.

See you there!  Let us all support our wonderful Canadian talent.

                                     
                                   I took this a little while ago when I last saw Carla in performance .
                                   Funny lady!  She will be at Massey Hall on Oct. 2
                                   Comedy Night in Canada. Don't miss it!
