Vancouver is hosting the 2025 Junos on March 30, turning the Rogers Arena into a celebration of all musical genres — from country ballads to South Asian rap. Canadian crooner Michael Bublé will host, and that's reason enough for senior entertainment reporter Eli Glasner to get excited.
Folk singer Sarah Harmer will receive this year's humanitarian award for her advocacy of environmental and human rights issues.
The ceremony, which streams live on CBC Music's YouTube page starting at 6 p.m. PT, is a precursor to Sunday's televised CBC broadcast hosted by Michael Bublé.

Michael Bublé raves about ‘unreal' Disney cruise from Vancouver
Canadian music icon Michael Bublé recently had high praise for his time aboard the Disney Wonder , a floating theme park. 'My family and I just went on a Disney cruise to Alaska and it was unreal! Every part of the experience exceeded our expectations,' Bublé shared with his millions of followers on Instagram about the Disney cruise experience, which departed from Vancouver. 'I'm not exaggerating when I say the staff, the food and all of our fellow passengers totally rocked,' he continued on July 29. The five-time Grammy Award winner and B.C. resident insisted the post wasn't an ad, but admitted that 'it sure does sound like one.'

' I just genuinely loved everything about it so much I had to give props where they were due ,' he said. 'We're already trying to figure out how to get back on that boat again! Thank you to everyone who we met, danced, ate, and hung with on our trip to Alaska.' The rave review comes at a time when many Canadians are choosing not to travel to the United States due to ongoing trade tensions between the two countries. Bublé, who has often emphasized his love for Canada and its culture, has spoken out against U.S. President Donald Trump's repeated comments about making Canada his nation's 51st state. During his opening monologue at the 2025 Juno Awards, he said, 'We are the greatest nation on Earth. And we are not for sale.' The Disney Wonder designates the Canada Place cruise ship terminal in downtown Vancouver as its home port every spring through the end of summer for its Alaska itineraries.

Create Account At around 4:40 a.m., Surrey police received a report of shots fired at Kap's Cafe in the 8400-block 120th Street. Officers from the Surrey Police Service and Delta Police Department responded and 'while it appears multiple shots caused damage to the windows and buildings, fortunately the staff on premises were uninjured,' said the SPS in a news release. The café, owned by popular Indian comedian and TV host Kapil Sharma, was also hit by gunfire in the early hours of July 10. It was one of several businesses that have been shot at in recent months, although police have not linked the earlier incident to extortion attempts made against the South Asian community. The cafe was closed for more than a week after the first shooting, and reopened less than two weeks ago. Recently, it hosted Surrey Mayor Brenda Locke, police officers, bylaw enforcement officers, and other officials who visited the cafe in a show of support.

Anyone with information about the shooting or has dashcam footage is asked to contact police at 604-599-0502 or anonymously at Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477. More to come.
