Michael Buble To Be Inducted Into B.C. Hall Of Fame
Michael Buble’s home province of British Columbia is tipping its hat to the Canadian crooner.
The Burnaby native, who has won a Grammy and several Juno awards, was among 10 people named to the B.C. Entertainment Hall of Fame on Tuesday.
Other 2009 inductees include television and film veterans Nicholas Campbell (”Naked Lunch,” “Da Vinci’s Inquest”) and Gabrielle Rose (”The Sweet Hereafter”), as well as Terry McBride, founder and CEO of Nettwerk Music Group, the label that represents Sarah McLachlan and The Barenaked Ladies.
The honourees will have their names embedded in the sidewalk of Vancouver’s Granville Street near the Orpheum Theatre.
Established in 1994, the entertainment hall recognizes British Columbians who have made an outstanding contribution to the entertainment industry locally, in Canada and abroad.
Buble recently made a cameo appearance on the 100th episode of CTV’s “Corner Gas” and is nominated for single of the year for “Lost” at the Juno Awards later this month.
