Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the 2020 JUNO Awards, which were originally scheduled to happen in Saskatoon back in March, were cancelled. Although artists like Alessia Cara, Shawn Mendes and Jessie Reyez weren’t able to walk across the stage to physically receive their award, a virtual ceremony was held last night (June 29).
