The Brampton Walk of Fame,〔"(Festivals and Events Mean Big Crowds Expected in Downtown Brampton This Summer )", City of Brampton press release, 20 May 2011.〕 or Art Walk of Fame, is an honours system to be located at the Rose Theatre Brampton, in Ontario, Canada. After its summer 2011 launch during an event promoting the International Indian Film Academy (IIFA) Awards, nothing more has been mentioned of the project. Initial inductees include one locally-residing singer (Nindy Kaur), one locally-residing music group (RDB), and an actress who lives in India and had not been to Brampton before the event (Bipasha Basu). == Brampton Walk of Fame (2011 only) == 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.〔"(Brampton Arts Council Strategic Plan Executive Summary )", October 31, 2008.〕 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.〔"(On my way to Brampton to host #IIFA buzz event with @Lisaraniray and featuring @bipsluvurself.
