Nominees
Burton Cummings is the 2016 inductee into the Canadian Music Hall of Fame. His band, The Guess Who, was inducted in 1987.[7] Rosalie Trombley, former music director for CKLW radio, will be presented with the year's Walt Grealis Special Achievement Award.[8] Arcade Fire is the recipient of the Allan Waters Humanitarian Award for their contributions to various non-profit organizations.[9]
Nominees were announced on 2 February 2016.[10] The lack of female nominees in categories such as Artist of the Year and Album of the Year resulted in social media discussions tagged "#JunosSoMale". Musicians Amy Millan and Grimes were also critical of the gender balance of this year's nominations.[11][12]
