Honouring the year’s highest achievements in Canadian television, the Awards will be broadcast direct from the grounds of the historic BMO Centre, Stampede Corral in the beautiful city of Calgary, Alberta. The broadcast is hosted by Comedian Ron James and includes presenters Cory Monteith (Glee) and Jessica Lucas (Melrose Place).

  “You can almost hear the wheels spin in Ron James’ head as he considers all the comedic gold found in the Wild Rose province. The reliably fast-thinking, fast-talking comedian will be in Calgary on Nov. 14 to host the Gemini Awards. To honour The Academy of Canadian Cinema & Television’s decision to tour the TV award show to a new city each year, James figures he’ll offer the crowd at the Stampede Corral some playful skewering of the host city.” Read more.
