TORONTO — Canada's top musical talent learn today if they are nominated for Juno Awards.

The annual celebration of homegrown music is set to announce this year's slate of contenders around midday.

But organizers are skipping the usual press conference in Toronto for an entirely virtual event, with an evening soiree planned for the nominees.

This year's Junos will unfold March 30 in Vancouver with crooner Michael Buble as host.

Rock band Sum 41 was previously announced as the Candian Music Hall of Fame inductee after the Ajax, Ont., act recently wrapped their farewell tour.

Matthew Samuels, better known as Toronto producer Boi-1da, will receive the international achievement award for a body of work that includes Drake's first mixtape.

Burlington, Ont.-native Sarah Harmer is this year's humanitarian award recipient for her support of environmental and human rights issues.

This report by The Canadian Press was first published Feb. 11, 2025.
