Prime Minister Mark Carney is set to join the star-studded lineup at the upcoming Juno Awards in Hamilton’s TD Coliseum this Sunday. The event will also feature iconic figures like Joni Mitchell, who will be honored with a lifetime achievement award, and Nelly Furtado, who will be inducted into the Canadian Music Hall of Fame.
Sarah McLachlan and Allison Russell will deliver a special tribute to Mitchell, while Alessia Cara, Jully Black, Shawn Desman, and Tanya Tagaq will come together for a collaborative performance celebrating Furtado’s musical legacy. Despite leading nominations, artists such as Justin Bieber, Tate McRae, and The Weeknd are not expected to attend the ceremony.
Comedian-turned-musician Mae Martin will host the Juno Awards, which will be broadcast on CBC TV, CBC Gem, and other CBC platforms at 8 p.m. ET on Sunday.
