Further, the award ceremony will take place at the Scotiabank Centre in Halifax, Nova Scotia. This will mark Furtado’s second time as Juno Awards host. In 2007, she hosted the show in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, and during that event, she secured five awards.

Last year, the Montreal-born Cardin bagged four awards, including artist of the year; album of the year and pop album of the year for Phoenix, as well as the single of the year for ‘Meaningless.’ On the other hand, The Beaches won last year’s Rock Album of the Year for Sisters Not Twins (The Professional Lovers Album). The Toronto rock group took home the 2018 Breakthrough Group of the Year award.
Maestro Fresh Wes, popularly known as the Hip-Hop Pioneer, has been chosen as the inductee into the Canadian Music Hall of Fame for 2024.
