The 2026 inductees will be welcomed into the Hall of Fame by an equally notable group of presenters. FINNEAS, who has won two Academy Awards, will take part alongside The Kids in the Hall co-founder Bruce McCulloch, actor and filmmaker Jay Baruchel, legendary Canadian songwriter Jim Vallance, and Olympic gold medal-winning hockey stars Marie-Philip Poulin and Laura Stacey.
Celebrating Canadian Songwriting
The Tragically Hip will be honoured for a body of work that helped shape the sound and cultural identity of Canadian rock music, while Loverboy’s Mike Reno and Paul Dean will be recognized for the songwriting partnership behind one of Canada’s most successful rock bands.
Leslie Feist will be celebrated for a distinctive songwriting career that has reached audiences both in Canada and internationally, while Roch Voisine will be honoured as one of the country’s most successful bilingual songwriters.
Additional performers and special guests are expected to be announced ahead of the ceremony, with further surprises planned for the night itself.
