The Canadian Country Music Association (CCMA) is a membership-based, not-for-profit organization committed to the promotion and recognition of Canadian country music. Built upon the foundation to educate, elevate and celebrate Canadian talent, the CCMA progressively heralds the spirit, community and creativity that country music fosters.
Since 1976, the CCMA has been committed to ensuring the growth and development of the Canadian country music industry. Through education, communication, information, promotion and recognition, the CCMA offers members these advantages in an increasingly competitive environment. Core to these efforts is Country Music Week. It is the focal point for the organization and its members, providing professional development opportunities, showcasing slots, and an opportunity to heighten awareness and increase exposure for Canada’s country music artists.
Originally founded as the Academy of Country Music Entertainment in September 1976 during an “RPM Magazine” function, the first Board of Directors under President Hank Smith set out to organize, promote and develop a Canadian country music industry, which included the founding of Country Music Week.
The very first awards presented in coordination with Country Music Week were the RPM Big Country Awards. It wasn’t until 1982 that the association inaugurated its very own Canadian Country Music Association Awards.
In 1987, the organization’s name was officially changed to the Canadian Country Music Association (CCMA). Growing in both reputation and experience, the CCMA was able to secure a broadcast partnership with CTV Television which allowed the 1987 Canadian Country Music Association Awards to be televised for the first time coast to coast to coast. The CCMA continued its partnership with CTV until 1998.
It was in 1999 that the CCMA entered into a new partnership, now with CBC Television, with encore broadcasts on CMT in Canada. The 2005 Canadian Country Music Association Awards were also broadcast for the first time on the U.S. Network GAC (Great American Country) and on CMC (Country Music Channel) in Australia.
It can be said that music is the very soul of this country, and reflects the true identity of Canada. As the country genre evolves to embrace new styles, it is reflecting new versions of our Canadian identity, as well as our heritage. Country Music Week and the Canadian Country Music Association Awards continue to be a celebration of the music and the artists that represent our unique culture.

IN MEMORY OF RAY ST. GERMAIN
The Canadian Country Music Association® is deeply saddened to hear about the passing of 2010 Canadian Country Music Hall of Fame inductee and iconic Manitoba Métis musician Ray St. Germain.
Ray St. Germain, a celebrated musician whose heart belonged to the Red River Métis people, left an indelible mark on many through his extraordinary talent and fervent passion. His deep connection to his Métis heritage was woven into every aspect of his life and work. As an ardent advocate for Métis rights and recognition, St. Germain used his music as a potent instrument for cultural revitalization and empowerment, bridging the past and present for future generations.
St. Germain’s unwavering pride in his Métis roots resonated through his tireless efforts and artistic endeavors. He championed the cause of the Métis community, ensuring their voices were heard and their stories told. His songs not only entertained but also educated, offering a rich tapestry of Métis history and culture. This dedication to his heritage earned him respect and admiration far beyond the music industry.
In recognition of his significant contributions, Ray received numerous accolades throughout his career. In 1985, he was honoured with the Aboriginal Order of Canada. Later, in 2013, he received the Order of Manitoba and the Lifetime Achievement Award from the Aboriginal Peoples Choice Awards. These prestigious awards underscore his lasting impact and commitment to both his art and his community.
With over 500 television shows to his credit, St. Germain’s influence extended beyond the music stage. His recent honour, having a street named after him, “Big Sky Country Way,” pays homage to one of his beloved TV shows, cementing his legacy in both the entertainment world and his community. This tribute reflects not only his contributions to television but also his enduring impact on cultural preservation and community pride.
Amy Jeninga, President of the Canadian Country Music Association (CCMA), shared, “Ray St. Germain was a true pioneer in our industry. His passion for music and his dedication to the Métis community inspired so many. His legacy will live on through the countless lives he touched with his music and advocacy. He will be deeply missed but never forgotten.”
