Voting for the 2025 Slaight Family Polaris Heritage Prize has opened and the nominees are in. This Prize is the equivalent of a Canadian albums hall of fame honouring important albums released prior to the launch of the Polaris Music Prize in 2006. Two of this year’s 12 nominated albums will receive the Heritage Prize designation.
