A magical night at the 2022 Canadian Songwriters Hall of Fame Gala inducting five inductees including Alanis Morissette, Bryan Adams, Daniel Lavoie, David Foster, and Jim Vallance.
This past weekend on Saturday, September 24, we celebrated an unforgettable night with the 2022 Canadian Songwriters Hall of Fame Gala which took place at the Massey Hall. A night honouring the best in Canadian Music, and celebrated some of the Inductees’ songs that have shaped pop culture. The Canadian Songwriters Hall Of Fame ushered in five new inductees including Alanis Morissette, Bryan Adams, Daniel Lavoie, David Foster, and Jim Vallance.
The night also included talent who presented and performed in tributes including host Marie-Mai, Nickelback’s Chad Kroeger, Corey Hart, Olivia Rodrigo, Charlotte Cardin, Serena Ryder, Alessia Cara, Deborah Cox, Jessie Reyez, Serena Ryder and more.
Some of the honourable performances include Deborah Cox preforming Foster’s “I have Nothing,” while Charlotte Cardin beautifully performed Adam’s “Heaven”, “You Oughta Know” by Serena Ryder, “Hands in My Pocket” by Alessia Cara, and an iconic performance of “Summer of ’69” by Nickelback’s Chad Kroeger and Ryan Peake.
Another memorable moment was Grammy-winning artist Olivia Rodrigo who presented and expressed the “life changing” impact made from Alanis Morissette and presented her induction into the Canadian Songwriters Hall of Fame.
The best part of the gala was at the end when host Marie-Mai rounded the performances with Vallance’s “What About Love,” and brought back all of the night’s performers for the grand finale of “Tears Are Not Enough” written by Adams, Vallance, Foster, and Rachel Paiement.

ABOUT CANADIAN SONGWRITERS HALL OF FAMEThe Canadian Songwriters Hall of Fame (CSHF) honours and celebrates Canadian songwriters and those who’ve dedicated their lives to the legacy of music; and works to educate the public about these achievements. National and non-profit, the CSHF is guided by its own Board of Directors, who comprise both Anglophone and Francophone music creators and publishers, as well as representation from the record industry. In December of 2011, SOCAN (the Society of Composers, Authors and Music Publishers of Canada) acquired the CSHF. The Hall of Fame’s mandate aligns with SOCAN’s objectives as a songwriter and publisher membership-based organization. The CSHF continues to be run as a separate organization. www.cshf.ca
