Finally, but, a bit late, to say the least.
(I had to look up "SOCAN", since the acronym was new to me. For those who may be wondering, it stands for the "Society of Composers, Authors and Music Publishers of Canada".)

Re: LC to be inducted to Canada's Walk of Fame
Yes, it is wonderful that Leonard will be honoured with this well-deserved "Legend" award, and that his "star" will grace the Walk of Fame in Toronto.
Of course, for many of us, his "star" has shone brightly for many, many years, and will continue to do so, with or without public fanfare and recognition.
Cheers!

The ceremony was on December 1, but it won't be televised until December 9. I'm trying to find out if Adam Cohen accepted on behalf of Leonard. Looking for pictures.

Re: LC to be inducted to Canada's Walk of Fame
My nephew who lives in Toronto was at the award show as a guest of Evan Goldberg's parents at the last minute. I didn't know this until after the fact.
It will be televised on CTV which unfortunately we can not get here in the US on the west coast.
(We get CBC only). It would be nice to hear what Lorca said when accepting the award... lovely photos of her.
