Downtown Winnipeg BIZ wants to give the province’s brightest stars a place to shine on the streets of downtown Winnipeg.

The improvement zone’s 2014 budget passed Wednesday included $185,500 to build “a permanent place of tribute and recognition for Manitoba achievement”, but where exactly the Manitoba Walk of Fame will be, when exactly it will open, and who will be honoured are details BIZ executive director Stefano Grande is keeping close to his chest.

“There’s an incredible amount of people that have contributed to music, to art, and to culture in our city, and we are remiss that there’s nothing really to celebrate it in a very public way,” he said. “Toronto has their Walk of Fame and Hollywood has their Hollywood Stars… It’s time we celebrate too.”
