The Juno Awards of 2012 honoured Canadian music industry achievements in the latter part of 2010 and in most of 2011. The awards were presented in Ottawa, Ontario, Canada during the weekend of 31 March and 1 April 2012. A week of related events began on 26 March 2012.[1][2]
Blue Rodeo was inducted into the Canadian Music Hall of Fame.[3] Broadcast executive Gary Slaight was designated the 2012 recipient of the Walt Grealis Special Achievement Award.[4][5][6]
Bidding
Ottawa's bid for the awards became known in March 2011 when it was revealed the province of Ontario allocated $100,000 in funding towards the city's 2012 Juno Awards bid.[7] The bid was jointly supported by the city, the province and the National Capital Commission. Ottawa hosted the awards on one other occasion, in 2003.[8]
Montreal was also considered as a 2012 host city. There was a bid from Victoria, British Columbia for the 2013 awards which was since granted to Regina. Victoria then planned a bid for 2014.[9]
