Hollywood-North Walk of Fame

A proposal to the Greater Victoria Harbour Authority, regarding installation of bronze stars along the Inner Harbour.Updated 3 years ago

Project Goals:

  • To recognize the abundance of talented people that have come from Victoria, Vancouver Island and beyond.
  • To recognize the local people who have made a name for themselves by their contributions to the community.
  • To promote the Victoria Film & Tourism Industry.
  • To promote lesser-known local celebrities, and those who have given back to their community.

Stars:

  • Local media and news personalities
  • Memorial stars for those we have lost.
  • Each time we present stars we will include a memorial star.
  • Add additional stars as interest builds and donations are collected.

Suggested First-Batch of Stars:

  1. David Foster
  2. Emily Carr
  3. Gordie Dodd
  4. Tess Van Stratten
  5. Steve Nash
  6. Terry Fox
  7. Jenice "Frankie" Edroff
  8. Pamela Anderson

Sample Star:


Star
  • Cast in bronze without color.
  • Colours are only for clarification.

Proposal:

  • We are asking for the space to be donated, but we can fund-raise to pay a fee, if required.
  • We will gladly place a GVHA stamp on each star if you would like.
  • We will gladly offer a seat on our board of directors to a person of your choosing.

Current Status of Project:

We are still in the process of:
  • Presenting the very first sample star to sponsors, local governments and community officials.
  • Collecting donations and/or sponsors
  • Contacting the first batch of 7 celebrities to ask for their interest.

Inspiration:

  • The people behind this business are local to Victoria. Some born and raised here.
  • That makes us so much more passionate about bringing this to the city.
  • We see the added value of recognizing the local people that may not get recognized otherwise.
  • We also see the added value it will bring to the city beautification projects as well as Tourism.

Budget - Proposed:

  • Each Star manufacturing costs by XXXX: $500.
  • Installation of first 8 stars by XXXX: $150.
  • Annual Maintenance (all stars) : $80/year

Notes:

  • Inner Harbour's Causeway is owned+operated by the Greater Victoria Harbour Authority.
