context_page_description: The Brampton Arts Walk of Fame is an honours system located at the Rose Theatre Brampton, in Ontario, Canada. It previously was known as the Brampton Walk of Fame, or Art Walk of Fame. The first currently recognized inductions took place in 2014, and include past and present residents of Brampton.
  A previous incarnation, launched in summer 2011 in promotion of the International Indian Film Academy Awards, included an actress who was making her first visit to Brampton. None of these inductions have been followed through on, beyond their initial events.
context_section_description: The walk was mentioned in an October 2008 planning document for the Brampton Arts Council, which suggested their executive director would be involved in establishing a criterion for inclusion, in co-operation with the Arts, Culture and Theatre Department of the City of Brampton (which manages the Rose Theatre). It suggested that city council approval would be needed. No city committee minutes or city council minutes posted on the City of Brampton website made any mention of the walk. A Brampton Guardian article listed the "honours Brampton citizens—both past and present—that have made significant contributions to the world of arts and entertainment." The article claims the walk was established in 2010.
  The weekend before the IIFA Awards were presented in Toronto, Ontario, the City of Brampton hosted an event called "IIFA Buzz Brampton". Festivities included music, dance performances, a marketplace, and the retheming of the annual Flower City Parade. One event, announced shortly before the event and held June 17, was the creation of a walk of fame. Inductees would be Indian film star Bipasha Basu, and locally-residing musicians RDB and Nindy Kaur.
  Publicity for the first induction claimed that it would be a private ceremony for VIPs only, the unveiling was public. Despite inducting two individuals and one group, the walk of fame is not yet "official" with the City, according to media reports. The ceremony was hosted by movie critic Mohit Rajhans of the neighbouring city of Mississauga, and actor, model, and activist Lisa Ray. While the unveiling ceremony was in the public square, most of the event was private.
  In late 2011, the City was scheduled to induct Russell Peters as to become the first formal inductee to the Walk of Fame; nothing more was mentioned of that induction. (He has since been inducted into the actual Walk.)
