Juno week in London is the 48th installment of the awards that honour the best and brightest in Canadian music, but it wasn't always called the Junos. In 1971, what were once known as the Gold Leaf Awards were renamed the Junos in honour of Pierre Juneau, a cultural nationalist. Juneau even won a Juno in 1971 as the Canadian music industry's "man of the year." The Reklaws, seen here performing at a live broadcast of CBC Radio One's 'Fresh Air,' were among a number of artists who took to the stage during Junos week. The musicians won 7-5.
