Canadian music legend Anne Murray is the most Juno-awarded artist in the history of Canada’s national music honours. At the 2025 Junos in Vancouver, Murray will be honoured with the Lifetime Achievement Award. The Springhill, Nova Scotia musician has won 25 Juno Awards.

“Canada’s National Arts Centre has been honoured to support countless Canadian performing artists from the beginning of their careers to the international stage, including this year’s honouree, Anne Murray,” says Christopher Deacon, President and CEO of the National Arts Centre.

Presented by the National Arts Centre/Centre National des Arts, Murray will be the first performer to receive the recognition since is was awarded to Pierre Juneau in 1989.

Juneau, who served as Minister of Communications in the government of prime minister Pierre Trudeau, was the first chairman of the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission (CRTC) and credited with the creation of Canadian content requirements for radio and television. The Juno Awards take their name from him.

The singer behind such classics as Snowbird and others has sold over 55 million albums and has won four Grammy Awards, including best female pop vocal performance in 1978 for You Needed Me. Her debut hit What About Me launched her career in 1968.

Hosted by Burnaby star Michael Bublé, who will be joined on stage for a special performance with Elisapie, Jonita Gandhi, Maestro Fres Wes and Roxane Bruneau, the broadcast will also include appearances from B.C. artists bbno$, Peach Pit, Chani Nattan, Inderpal Moga, Jazzy B and GMINXR.
