It’s 2017, Canada is 150, the JUNO Awards are in Ottawa for only the 3rd time ever, and it’s an amazing year to be a woman in music. Tonight 8 awards were handed out at Canadian Tire Centre out which 4 were given to women and the rest to either the Tragically Hip / Gord Downie, Leonard Cohen or Shawn Mendes.

In true Canadian form Juno weekend kicked off with a snowstorm on Friday night. Thankfully if you didn’t like that, warmer kinder weather was in store for Saturday and the Juno Gala dinner at Ottawa’s Shaw Centre.
