Alain Simard and Andre Menard, co-founders of the Montreal Jazz Festival, were inducted into the Canadian Music Industry Hall of Fame last night at a gala dinner held at the Sheraton Centre hotel.

These two were inducted by Quebec superstar Michel Rivard and Hamilton-born Canadian super-producer and musician Daniel Lanois. Their induction was one of many extraordinary highlights at the four-hour gala that included several standing ovations, including a heartfelt one for Allan Slaight Humanitarian Spirit Award winner Nelly Furtado, The singer reiterated an earlier pledge on stage to donate a million dollars to a trust that will build an all-girls' secondary school in Kenya and added more money from the Slaight family Foundation to the Unison Benevolent charity that aids musicians and music industry families in distress.

Recently deceased Broadcast Hall of Fame inductee Pat Cardinal, whose family flew from various points across Canada to accept the honour on his behalf, along with performances by Burton Cummings and his band the Carpet Frogs, and fellow Hall of Fame inductee Andy Kim also had the audience on its collective feet in an expression of respect and admiration. Also inducted into the Broadcast Hall of Fame was Newcap radio CEO Rob Steele who offered some heartfelt words and a few chuckles from the stage.

The sit-down dinner capped the first day of Canadian Music Week's three-day conference at the Toronto hotel that saw several thousand delegates pack more than a half-dozen summit rooms to listen to and participate in more than a dozen sessions.

The emerging theme Thursday was that the pre-recorded music business is slowly rebounding from a half-dozen years of flat-lining revenues and a couple of decades that have seen as much as $20-billion retail dollars lost by record companies in the withering storm created by the digital era, online piracy and changing consumer listening trends.

The record industry has been in the frontline of the storm that has emerged with the digital economy and it was ironic that the first day was headlined by a transformational game-changing announcement in the US that Magna Global, the ad buying arm of global ad agency Interpublic Group, plans to shift US$250 million in TV ad spending to YouTube specialty channels.

Times they are a changing, but the record business has learned to adapt and the turnout and spirit at CMW 2016 clearly shows that this is an industry that has learned to survive and even flourish in the face of adversity. One of the driving forces in our industry for decades has been its ability to absorb, change and move forward with an ever-changing brain trust that combines hard-earned experience with youthful optimism and creativity.

Below is the complete list of winners from last night's awards program.
