The passing of a number of prominent local residents prompted a local promoter to consider the idea of an NL Walk of Fame.

Glenn Pardy, the administrator of the ‘NL Live Events’ Facebook Page, recently floated a proposal to create a Newfoundland and Labrador Walk of Fame, and reaction has been largely positive.

Pardy says there is no shortage of talent to recognize and he believes the Pedestrian Mall in St. John’s would be a great site to highlight some of the province’s best.

“We need visuals on our streets so that people never forget who….Gordon Pinsent is, or Harry Hibbs, Ron Hynes, Joan Morrissey, DIck Nolan, Joh White” says Pardy. “These are musical icons for Newfoundland” says Pardy and they should be honoured.”
