Juno Awards of 1995
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Juno Awards of 1995, representing Canadian music industry achievements of the previous year, were awarded on 26 March 1995 in Hamilton, Ontario at a ceremony in the Copps Coliseum. Mary Walsh, Rick Mercer and other regulars of the television series This Hour Has 22 Minutes were the hosts for the ceremonies which were broadcast on CBC Television.
Nominees were announced on 1 February 1995. Susan Aglukark and Jann Arden were among the prominent nominees this year.
Almost 10 000 people were in the Coliseum for the event - over 6500 public tickets were sold, the remainder were from the music business.
Leonard Rambeau, the long-time manager of Anne Murray, received a special lifetime achievement award. Rambeau died later that year of cancer.
