Juno Awards
were hosted in London.

Host city bids

The
Canadian Academy of Recording Arts and Sciences
(CARAS) announced on 29 January 2018 that London was selected to host the 2019 Juno Awards.
[4]
London's bid was valued at $1.7 million, including city council's pledge of $500,000.
[5]
CARAS had approached
Hamilton, Ontario
to make a bid for the 2019 Junos, although that city had expected to bid for the following year's awards. Hamilton city council reserved $550,000 for its bid, valued at $1.5 million.
[6]
Saskatoon, which first hosted the Junos in 2007, attempted to host the 2019 awards but withdrew its bid due to a lack of available funding.
[5]
That bid did not receive support from the province of Saskatchewan.
[6]
However, the city made a successful bid to host the
awards in 2020
.
[7]
There was also media speculation that Quebec City attempted to bid for the 2019 awards.
