Boi-1da and Sarah Harmer to be celebrated at 2025 Juno Awards

The Canadian Academy of Recording Arts and Sciences (CARAS) has recently announced the recipients of two prestigious awards at the upcoming 2025 Juno Awards ceremony. Grammy-winning Toronto producer Boi-1da will be honored with the International Achievement Award, recognizing his outstanding success on the global stage. Boi-1da has been a driving force in the music industry for nearly two decades, with notable production credits on Drake’s early mixtapes and collaborations with music heavyweights such as Jay-Z, Eminem, Kendrick Lamar, and Nicki Minaj. Reflecting on this achievement, Boi-1da expressed his gratitude for the recognition, emphasizing the influence of Canada’s music scene on his career and encouraging aspiring Canadian artists to dream big and make their mark on the world stage.

On the other hand, Juno-winning singer-songwriter Sarah Harmer will receive the Humanitarian Award at the 2025 Juno Awards for her dedication to using her platform to raise awareness about important environmental and human rights issues. Harmer’s commitment to environmental activism can be traced back to her song “Escarpment Blues” in 2005, which sparked her involvement in protecting the Niagara Escarpment. She has actively supported various environmental causes, including pipeline protests and collaborations with organizations like Students on Ice and Reform Gravel Mining Coalition. In response to receiving the Humanitarian Award, Harmer expressed her appreciation for the recognition and highlighted the collective effort of volunteers and musicians in advocating for the protection of land, water, and the natural world.

Both Boi-1da and Sarah Harmer’s contributions to the music industry and society at large exemplify the power of music as a tool for positive change and global impact. The 2025 Juno Awards ceremony, set to take place on March 30 at Rogers Arena in Vancouver, will celebrate these deserving honorees and showcase the best of Canadian talent. The event will be broadcast live on CBC-TV, CBC Gem, CBC Radio One, CBC Music, CBC Listen, and globally on CBCMusic.ca/junos, providing a platform for audiences worldwide to join in the celebration of Canadian music excellence.
