Prime Minister Mark Carney is set to join the prestigious guest lineup at the upcoming Juno Awards in Hamilton’s TD Coliseum this Sunday. The event will also feature music legends Joni Mitchell, who will be honored with a lifetime achievement award, and Nelly Furtado, who is set to be inducted into the Canadian Music Hall of Fame.
A special tribute for Mitchell will be performed by Sarah McLachlan and Allison Russell, while a musical celebration of Furtado’s work will feature Alessia Cara, Jully Black, Shawn Desman, and Tanya Tagaq.
Notable nominees like Justin Bieber, Tate McRae, and The Weeknd are unlikely 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.
