His band, The Guess Who, was inducted in 1987.[8] Rosalie Trombley, former music director for CKLW radio, will be presented with the year's Walt Grealis Special Achievement Award.[9] Arcade Fire is the recipient of the Allan Waters Humanitarian Award for their contributions to various non-profit organizations.[10]
Nominees were announced on 2 February 2016.[11] 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".
