Seven local residents have been chosen for the 2026 Walk of Fame in Milton, Ontario, to celebrate their achievements on the national and international stage. The Town of Milton and the Milton Historical Society announced the new group of honourees on January 20, 2026. This year’s list includes world‑famous music producer deadmau5 (Joel Zimmerman), former federal cabinet minister The Honourable Lisa Raitt, and several professional athletes.
The 2026 class includes musician Joel Zimmerman (deadmau5) and The Honourable Lisa Raitt, P.C. They are joined by hockey players Victoria Bach and Megan Carter, lacrosse legend John Grant (John Grant Jr.), horse racing announcer Dan Loiselle, and harness‑racing figure and horse owner Bradley Grant. Each inductee was either born in Milton or lived in the community for a minimum of 10 years, and has achieved national or international recognition in their field.
According to FM101 Milton Now, the Walk of Fame was started in 2007 as a legacy project for Milton’s 150th anniversary to highlight residents who have made a name for themselves beyond the community. Visitors can see the permanent plaques in the glass corridor that links the historic and modern wings of Milton Town Hall. A local report noted the awards recognize excellence across fields ranging from music and politics to sports.
An induction ceremony will be held at Milton Town Hall on February 21, 2026, to formally recognize the inductees. Mayor Gord Krantz said, “Through our continued partnership with the Milton Historical Society, it is a pleasure to honour and congratulate this latest group of Miltonians to be inducted into Milton’s Walk of Fame.” John Challinor II, President of the Milton Historical Society, added: “The Milton Historical Society wishes to congratulate and celebrate the inductees. With each passing year, this event continues to remind all of us just how special this community and its citizens truly are.” Residents interested in attending can contact the Town of Milton for details (see the FM101 notice for contact information); space in the glass corridor is limited.
