Dara Howell, Canada’s Gold Medalist in Sochi was given the honour of walking the red carpet and officially giving the introduction of One Republic at this years JUNO Awards that were held in Winnipeg.

The weather might have been a bit “nippy” but for everyone attending it was clearly one hot event featured yearly in Canada on CTV  National Television.

Everyone watching at home or in person could cheer as Howell introduced the Colorado band 58 minutes into the show.
