Chris Hadfield will be inducted at Canada's Walk of Fame Saturday.

The Sarnia born astronaut who attended King George VI public school was the first Canadian to walk in space and became the first Canadian to command the International Space Station in 2012.

Canada's Walk of Fame, in Toronto, has a series of maple leaf-like stars embedded in 13 designated blocks of sidewalks in the downtown theatre district.

This is such an honour for my family. I'm greatly looking forward to meeting with the other inductees - inspiring Canadians! https://t.co/zm3tsRmXbo
