The Juno Awards of 2017, honouring Canadian music achievements, will be presented in Ottawa the weekend of 1–2 April 2017. The ceremonies will be held at the Canadian Tire Centre in Kanata, a suburb of Ottawa, Ontario and televised on CTV with Bryan Adams and Russell Peters as co-hosts. The duo replaces Michael Bublé, who was originally scheduled to host the show.

Changes to host
Michael Bublé was originally scheduled to host the awards, but had cancelled public appearances due to his son's cancer diagnosis.
It was announced on 1 November 2016 that the singer would return to host of the 2017 ceremony after playing emcee in 2013. Three days later, on 3 November, Bublé made public that he would be suspending professional activities to focus on his son's treatment. At that time it was uncertain whether he would still host the Junos or his previously scheduled duties at the 2017 Brit Awards.
Bell Media president Randy Lennox said in an interview with The Canadian Press that initial discussions with Russell Peters began in early November when the comedian offered to take the hosting gig if Bublé needed someone else to step in. Shortly after Bublé opted to forgo the Brit Awards hosting plans, singer Adams also began talking with Juno organizers about taking a role in the Canadian broadcast.
On 9 March 2017, the Juno Awards announced that Bublé would be replaced by Adams and Peters.
