Over the past 40 years or so, the Juno Award statuette has been through many changes and adaptations. Here’s the journey of the metronome-shaped RPM Gold Leaf awards into the Juno Award of the present-day.
1970-74 The Juno Awards (originally called the RPM Gold Leaf award) was designed by the co-founder of the Juno Awards, Stan Klees. It was an 18 inch award, made of walnut, designed to bear a resemblance to a metronome.
1975 The award was re-created into a larger (23 inch), more acrylic version. The designer was once again Stan Klees. This was the year that the Juno Awards were first televised, and was also the year they were renamed. The name “Juno Awards” was given to honour CRTC (Canadian Radio-television Telecommunications Commission)’s first chairman and former President of CBC (Canadian Broadcasting Company), Pierre Juneau. The award was revised from its previous 1970 version because it was considered to not be attractive enough.
1978-1983 The statuettes went through minimal change to include the new “Juno Awards” logo.
1984-1999 Over this period of time, the award was slightly altered several times. Some of these changes include modifying the height (making it smaller) to make it easier to hold, and adding a Maple leaf inlay on the 25th anniversary of the Juno Awards. From 1970-1999 the award maintained its original metronome shape.
2000-2010 With the newest century, came a newer version of the award. It was a human figure created using molten glass with a musical staff spiraling around it. This design was created by Shirley Elford.
2011- On the 40th anniversary of the Juno Awards, a new modification came to the statuette. To honour Shirley Elford, and her beautiful design, the human figure was engraved into a cryst...

...ecome the chairman of the Canadian Radio-television Telecommunications Commission (CRTC). He remained chairman until 1975, and truly left an impact on the CRTC, which later used his name for the Juno Awards. In 1975, he was chosen as Minister of Communications, then chairman of the National Capital Commission. From 1982-1989 he occupied the role of President at Canadian Broadcasting Company (CBC). He retired in 1989.
In 1975, he was made an officer of the Order of Canada and was elected a member of the Royal Society of Canada. He received honorary doctorates from York University, Ryerson Polytechnic University, Trent University and Université de Moncton. Mr. Juneau brought attention to Canadian artists who gained their fame in the `70s and brought international respect to Canada’s talent. He is described by the Globe and Mail as “The Godfather of Canadian Swagger.”
His idea of peacekeeping appealed to many people, and therefore gained him an international reputation, a few years later he earned the Nobel Peace prize. In CBCs news report it is said that Pearson; “had also fulfilled his dream to give Canada an independent place on the world
Made in 1970, the year of Wieland’s return to Canada, “O Canada (Animation)” is a large embroidery piece on fabric depicting a series of luscious, bright red lips mouthing the words to the Canadian anthem, ultimately a visual rendition of its lip-synching. (It also exists as lithographic prints, where the mouths are similar to lipstick). The mouths are analogous to those of pin up girls and advertisements; the piece hangs loosely like a banner or flag. Wieland has just spent several years living in New York City and is now delving into works dealing with Canadian nationalism and traditionally feminine handcrafts. “O Canada” would not become the official Canadian anthem until 1980, but already in 1966, Lester B. Pearson is placing motions so that the song may become the country’s anthem. Similarly, the maple leaf flag is first flown in 1965 – nationali...
There lived and died a man who we recognize today as the founder of the Province of Manitoba and defender of the rights of the Métis and of French Canadians.
Pierre Trudeau is the greatest Canadian of the twentieth century due to the fact that he declared Canada’s independence from Great Britain, he abolished the death penalty, and he created the Official Languages Act, making our nation entirely bilingual.
"Pierre Elliott Trudeau (prime Minister of Canada) -- Britannica Online Encyclopedia." Encyclopedia - Britannica Online Encyclopedia. Web. 01 Feb. 2012. .
Even though he is remembered as Prime Minister, Pierre Trudeau’s legacy did not start there. While his sixteen years as Prime Minister is said to be his greatest achievement, his reputation as a hard worker started after he graduated from the University of Montreal, when he landed a position as a desk officer for the Privy Council; he practiced law, specializing in labour and civil liberty cases –issues he later brought into focus of Canadians– from 1951 to 1961. During these years, Trudeau spent his time opposing the ‘Union Nationale’ government of Maurice Duplessis; he demanded both social and political change. “Trudeau sought to rouse opposition ...
Pierre Elliot Trudeau is perhaps one of the mostly widely recognized Canadian Prime Ministers. His contributions to the growth and progress of Canada stands forever engraved in the minds of all Canadians. Yet, in spite of his many contributions, Canadians share contrasting opinions of Trudeau. Frum (2011) says of Trudeau that “as a political wrecker, he was truly world class.” On the other hand, the results of a poll commissioned by the Harper government in 2013-2014 ranked Trudeau number one on the list of most inspirational Canadians . In this essay, I will provide an analysis comprised of three perspectives to support the argument that Pierre Trudeau’s impact on Canada was overwhelmingly positive because his legacy transcended politics.
Many people to this day still do not have a collective agreement on what is the Canadian identity? Depending whom you ask you may get a wide variety of answer spanning the spectrum of possibilities, more so now, than at any point of the history of our nation. This essay will investigate how Pierre Elliott Trudeau found himself as a Canadian, and will demonstrate how it is his surroundings in which he immersed himself that shaped who he became. It is only later in his life that he truly discovered himself as well as his identity. Through the use of John English's biography as our primary reference we will investigate the development in Trudeau's character as he becomes older and experiences turning points in his life.
... thought that while a political framework had been created in 1867 the dreamed up union could only last if it was cemented by the creation of a strong national economy - one that would run east-west rather than north-south. The future of Confederation, he thought, hinged upon the development of the West. Without such development, the Americans would take over the West, encircle Canada and inevitably bring about its annexation. Hence, the dream of creating a “separate, peaceful and orderly society on the northern half of the continent” would fade away. Without John A. MacDonald, the Canada that one is currently living in would have been very different. Either viewed as positive or negative to different people, he is truly one of the men that influenced Canada the most, and an “agent of change”. After all, he did not receive the name “Father of Canada” for nothing.
