ON the Road to the JUNOS
Congratulations to Ontario artist Nonso Amadi on his JUNO nomination for Contemporary R&B Recording of the Year!
"This is my first nomination ever for a JUNO, so it means a lot to be here. It is such a symbolic award for Canada and Canadian artists."
Watch his 'ON the Road to the JUNOS' video to learn more about Nonso's musical journey.
Congratulations to Ontario duo Softcult on their first JUNO nomination for Alternative Album of the Year!
"For us, it's very validating to be nominated. We write and record everything ourselves, we film all our own music videos - so everything we do is very DIY - and to be recognized by the JUNOS, it just feels like we're being seen and appreciated."
Watch their 'ON the Road to the JUNOS' video to learn more about this multi-talented duo and their musical journey.
Congratulations to Ontario band Good Kid on their first JUNO nomination for Breakthrough Group of the Year!
"Ontario definitely influences our music, partly because a lot of the bands that influence our band are from here, and we get to meet them, play with them, hang out."
Watch their 'ON the Road to the JUNOS' video to learn more about Good Kid's journey to nomination.
Congratulations to Ontario artist Logan Staats on his first JUNO nomination for Contemporary Roots Album of the Year!
"There was one place that I knew that I belonged – and it was inside of a song."
Watch his 'ON the Road to the JUNOS' video to learn more about Logan's inspiring musical journey.
Congratulations to Ontario artist Luna Elle on her first JUNO nomination for Traditional R&B / Soul Recording of the Year!
"Music helps me get through everything. I honestly don't know what I would do without music. I feel like life would be so bland."
Watch Luna Elle’s 'ON the Road to the JUNOS' video to learn more about her big music career moment (at age 16!)

ONTARIO GREEN SCREEN, STRATEGIC PLAN
We are proud to present the Ontario Green Screen 2023-2027 Strategic Plan. Ontario Green Screen (OGS) is made possible through a partnership between Ontario Creates, industry, and municipal partners, representing all aspects of the industry across the province. Collectively, we have a shared passion to facilitate sustainable production practices.
We created the OGS Strategic Plan in collaboration with the OGS Advisory Committee and industry subject matter experts. This plan lays out specific, measurable and timely goals for the initiative, over the next four years:
- We commit to fostering an engaged, diverse, inclusive, and collaborative community that advances and enables sustainable production practices.
- We commit to informing and educating Ontario’s film and television industry stakeholders about sustainability best practices.
- We commit to creating a framework to effectively measure and report on environmental impacts and industry-wide progress.
- We commit to delivering resources, tools, and initiatives to empower individuals to incorporate sustainable strategies and protocols that will help reduce the negative environmental impacts of film production across Ontario.
