The Humanitarian Award (formerly the Allan Waters Humanitarian Award) is awarded by the Canadian Academy of Recording Arts and Sciences (CARAS) to Canadian musicians who have made significant humanitarian efforts.[1] Since 2006, it is given annually every Juno Awards ceremony.
Waters, whose name was attached to the award until 2017, was one of the founders of CHUM Limited.[2] His name was removed from the award title effective with the 2018 Juno Awards.[3]
