B.C.’s entertainment hall-of-famers are featured on a new self-guided walking tour of Vancouver’s StarWalk, where rock band Loverboy is among the latest inductees.

Bios for Bryan Adams, Sarah McLachlan, Michael J. Fox, Dal Richards and close to 200 others are now found on the VanWalks tour app (vanwalks.ca), in partnership with BC Entertainment Hall of Fame.

For free along Granville Street, from Robson to Nelson, smartphone users can virtually expand sections of the sidewalk stars to read more about each inductee.
