The Canadian Music Hall of Fame was established in 1978 by the Canadian Academy of Recording Arts and Sciences (CARAS)[1] to honour Canadian musicians for their lifetime achievements in music.[2][3] The award presentation is held each year as part of the Juno Award ceremonies. Since 2012, the inductee also performs at the ceremony.
A hall facility was opened in Calgary in 2016 located within The National Music Centre in Calgary, Alberta.[4][2] It can be found on level five of the Studio Bell, a floor entirely dedicated to celebrating and recognizing Canadian music creators and artists who have left their mark on this country and beyond.[5]
