Dear friends,
CIMA shares everyone’s disappointment and dismay about the cancellation of this year’s JUNOS. Our thoughts and support go out to the entire CARAS team, and our hosts in Saskatchewan, for what was undoubtedly an impossible and heart-wrenching decision. But, in the spirit of an abundance of caution that we are all currently living in, we support the decision to cancel the JUNOS.
Of course, our hearts go out to the many artists and their teams who will not be given the opportunity for their moment in the sun this weekend. We all know that the strength, resilience, and certainly the extraordinary talent of our entire industry transcends this moment in time.
This is a trying time for our industry and the world, to be sure, as the situation seems to be shifting daily, even hourly. We remind people to not follow the headlines, but to exercise the prudent precautions that our health officials are communicating to us, following good hygiene practices and avoiding contact through handshakes and the like.
CIMA is monitoring the situation and will inform our members and the industry as things develop. Please stay abreast of our messages via our social media platforms: @cimamusic75.
Stay safe and calm, everyone!!!
