In 1964 ''[[RPM (magazine)|RPM]]'' magazine began polling its readers to determine which artists and groups they considered the best in Canada.<ref>{{cite journal | title=The Juno awards : tenth anniversary special issue | journal=[[RPM (magazine)|RPM Publications]] | year=1980 | pages=9–10 }} "End of Year Awards" were mentioned in 7 December 1964 issue of ''RPM''.</ref><ref name="Inc.1977">{{cite magazine|first=Martin | last=Melhuish|title=Juno 1977 |magazine=Billboard|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=ayMEAAAAMBAJ&pg=PA76|date=23 April 1977|publisher=Nielsen Business Media, Inc.|pages=76–|issn=0006-2510}}</ref> ''RPM'' announced the results of these polls each December.<ref name=CollCanadaRPM>{{cite web | url=http://www.collectionscanada.ca/rpm/028020-200-e.html | title=The RPM Story | publisher=[[Library and Archives Canada]] | access-date=27 July 2007 | first=Richard | last=Green | url-status=live | archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120605223124/http://www.collectionscanada.gc.ca/rpm/028020-200-e.html | archive-date=5 June 2012 | df=dmy-all }}</ref> There were no formal award ceremonies.

Record label owner [[Stan Klees]] met with ''RPM'' founder [[Walt Grealis]] to plan a formal music industry awards ceremony. Instead of merely publishing the award results in ''RPM'', presentations would be made at a physical venue. The first ceremony was the [[Gold Leaf Awards of 1970|Gold Leaf Awards]] which took place on 23 February 1970 in [[Toronto, Ontario]].<ref name="40YR">{{Cite web |title=Celebrating 40 Years of Canadian Music |url=https://junoawards.ca/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/JUNO-Awards-Chronology.pdf |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160807182154/http://junoawards.ca/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/JUNO-Awards-Chronology.pdf |archive-date=7 August 2016 |access-date=26 April 2018 |website=junoawards.ca |df=dmy-all}}</ref>

Later that year ''RPM'' invited its readers to suggest a new name for these awards. The name "Juneau" was submitted, in honour of Pierre Juneau, the first head of the CRTC. Juneau was instrumental in establishing Canadian content regulations for broadcasters to promote Canadian musicians.<ref name="Inc.1977" /> That name became shortened to Juno and by 1971, the awards ceremonies were referred to as the "Juno Awards".<ref>{{cite encyclopedia | url=http://www.thecanadianencyclopedia.com/en/article/juno-awards-emc/ | access-date=27 November 2013 | encyclopedia=[[The Canadian Encyclopedia]] | title=Juno Awards | first=Steve | last=McLean | url-status=dead | archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20131203014738/http://www.thecanadianencyclopedia.com/en/article/juno-awards-emc/ | archive-date=3 December 2013 | df=dmy-all }}</ref>

From 1970 to 1973, ''RPM'' announced the winners before the awards night. From 1974, the award winners were not made public until the Juno ceremonies.<ref>{{cite journal | title=The Juno awards : tenth anniversary special issue | journal=[[RPM (magazine)|RPM Publications]] | year=1980 | pages=37 }}</ref> Music industry representatives formed an advisory committee for the Junos in 1974 which became the Canadian Music Awards Association the following year. This organisation assumed full management and operation of the Juno Awards from 1977 and became the [[Canadian Academy of Recording Arts and Sciences]] (CARAS).<ref name="CollCanadaRPM"/><ref>{{cite encyclopedia | url=https://www.thecanadianencyclopedia.ca/en/article/canadian-academy-of-recording-arts-and-sciences-emc | title=Canadian Academy of Recording Arts and Sciences | encyclopedia=[[The Canadian Encyclopedia]] | access-date=27 November 2013 | first=Alexis | last=Luko | url-status=live | archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20131203015221/http://www.thecanadianencyclopedia.com/en/article/canadian-academy-of-recording-arts-and-sciences-emc/ | archive-date=3 December 2013 | df=dmy-all }}</ref>

The Junos were first televised across Canada in [[Juno Awards of 1975|1975]] on [[CBC Television]].<ref name=CJCYoung>{{cite journal | title=The CBC and the Juno Awards | first=David | last=Young | year=2005 | journal=Canadian Journal of Communication | volume=30 | issue=3 | pages=343–366 | doi=10.22230/cjc.2005v30n3a1549 | df=dmy-all | doi-access=free }}</ref> Primary ceremonies continued to be broadcast on CBC until [[Juno Awards of 2001|2001]], moving to [[CTV Television Network]] (CTV) from [[Juno Awards of 2002|2002]] to [[Juno Awards of 2017|2017]] inclusive.

The Canadian Music Hall of Fame was introduced in 1978. In 1979, the statuette's name was officially changed from RPM Annual Gold Leaf Award to the Juno Award, and featured then-Prime Minister of Canada [[Pierre Trudeau]] as a presenter.<ref name="40YR"/>
