Canadian Beats Awards 2016 RESULTS

For the month of December, we gave the public the opportunity to vote for their favourites in several categories and although it was a close run for many, the winners have been chosen. It’s time to present the certificates and of course, bragging rights to the winners, and also announce those who have been named Runner-ups in our 4th annual Canadian Beats Awards! To see the certificates (in the case that you want to print or share on your social networking) click on your name and do as you please! Please note that the certificate may take a few moments to load, as it’s high quality! Congratulations to all of you, and we look forward to 2017 and working with all of you much more!
