What a decent, fun event!
Scotiabank Centre - Halifax
From organization to signage (way-finding), the quality of the people and the artists, the opening and hosting of Nelly Furtado, and most of all..for bringing to to HALIFAX and Mi'kma'ki, this event was ever so memorable. Thank you for all the efforts and dedication you invested in celebrating the best of Canadian art and Halifax hospitality. We needed that exposure for Halifax and you gave it in the best way possible. THANK YOU!!

Junos hoopla
Scotiabank Centre - Halifax
This was Our first live Junos as attendees . The energy from the crowd at Scotiabank Centre was electrifying. Anne Murray is a home town celebrity that we are so proud of and to see. See her in person, was special. Elliott Page has done amazing work for the LGBTQ in our community and the rest of the star performers did an amazing job of entertaining us. The the stage set op was spectacular. Well done Halifax management on the Metro Transit buses too. Our rides were on time and filled with happy people who enjoyed the show, too.

Great event- need to pick the right seats
Scotiabank Centre - Halifax
We bought tickets in the upper level of the Scotiabank Centre. The Juno’s were fabulous and we thoroughly enjoyed the show. The seats however, left a lot to be desired. Having never been in the Centre, we never realized that the seats had box seats blocking a huge port of our vision to the stage, making it seem like you’re watching the show through a window. The designers realize how poorly designed the place is and have projectors along the back of the box seat walls so you can actually see the show! I’m not sure I’d go there again unless the show was spectacular and warranted the expense of lower level seats

Political Crap
Scotiabank Centre - Halifax
I understand organizers have boxes to check, diversity and inclusion to consider but as a taxpayer that contributes to grants that support the Juno show and a person that invested to see Canadian Music talent celebrated i was extremely disappointed to see excess 10 minutes taken from musicians to allow for the unnecessary political commentary and and showmanship of Page - Tegan and Sara Half way point my joy was taken, Not impressed not happy. Seriously disappointed,. Been to CCMAS also, never had that waste of time take place. Also in NS we lost Guthro and Goodwin no mention?

Canadian Music Party
Scotiabank Centre - Halifax
It was a fun experience. I sat way up near the ceiling in the large auditorium. I think there should be a rule that performers may use any language, but a translation should be projected on some screen onstage giving the words for their songs in either English or French. There were songs this year performed very beautifully in Punjabi and Portuguese, I believe. It is not such an issue with languages of Indigenous Canadians, but with very diverse languages that few people in this country are likely to understand, there should be some translation, to increase the listener’s enjoyment.

Awesome!
Scotiabank Centre - Halifax
It was a great show, lots of excellent music. Easy in and easy out. Refreshments were available at the commissary and there was very little waiting in line which I dispise. Great show, excellent time was had and would certainly do it again.
What started as the RPM Gold Leaf Awards in 1964 by RPM editor and publisher Walt Grealis and record label executive Stan Klees, soon became The JUNO Awards in 1971. Named in tribute to Pierre Juneau, the first chairperson of the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission (CRTC), the JUNO Awards were founded to raise the public profile and recognition of musical artists in Canada.
The JUNO Awards has evolved from an industry awards event to a weeklong festival that travels city to city across the country. It encompasses both public-facing fan events and industry/networking opportunities featuring a diverse array of Canadian artists and emerging talent. In addition to The JUNO Awards Broadcast, JUNO Week event programming includes JUNO Songwriters' Circle, JUNOfest, and more.
In 2002, The JUNO Awards went on the road to take the music to the fans and expanded its scope to include a series of public and private events outside of the Awards broadcast. Each host city has embraced their opportunity to support the JUNO Awards and build an enduring legacy of music programs in their market.
