Bryan Adams has had his fair share of shining moments in his career, but on Sunday he will have bestowed on him an honour that reaches far beyond his musical achievements.
The famed Vancouverite, who has earned 18 Juno Awards (56 nominations), as well as Grammy, MTV and American Music Awards, will be given the Allan Waters Humanitarian Award at this year's Juno ceremony in recognition of his humanitarian contributions.
The Allan Waters Humanitarian Award is named after late CHUM founder Allan Waters.
Previous recipients of the award include another Hall of Famer, Sarah McLachlan (2009) and Paul Brandt (2008).
