DID YOU KNOW?  Canada’s biggest night in music started as a poll of the country’s favourite musicians in a former trade publication, RPM, founded by publisher Walt Grealis and record producer Stan Klees.

The Awards started as the RPM Gold Leaf Awards, they were renamed in 1971 to honour Pierre Juneau.  Pierre was the first chair of the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission (CRTC).
