TORONTO, ON (March 23, 2026) — The Canadian Academy of Recording Arts and Sciences (CARAS) and The JUNO Awards are proud to announce Marlow as the Official Period Care Partner of The JUNOS and Canadian Music, joining The 2026 JUNO Awards as a Gold Partner, in a first-of-its-kind partnership bringing dedicated period care access to a national live awards stage. Launched in alignment with International Women’s Day, the partnership reflects a shared commitment to fostering a more inclusive, supportive, and empowering environment for artists and industry professionals across Canada.
Founded by Canadian women, Marlow is on a mission to transform the period care aisle through sustainable, high-quality organic products and accessible education that empowers individuals to take charge of their reproductive health. Through this partnership, Marlow will bring its purpose-driven approach to one of Canada’s most celebrated cultural stages, ensuring that essential care products are seamlessly integrated into the JUNO Week experience.
Marlow will provide on-site product sampling and install custom dispensers stocked with organic, toxin-free tampons and pads throughout key JUNO venue washrooms, ensuring convenient and thoughtful access for artists, guests, and industry attendees. These activations are designed to enhance the guest experience while normalizing and supporting period care in live event environments.
In addition, Marlow will extend its impact directly to the artist community through a curated gifting initiative, providing participating artists with thoughtfully assembled product packages. This initiative underscores Marlow’s commitment to supporting artists both on and off stage, reinforcing the importance of comfort, confidence, and care throughout JUNO Week.
“We’re proud to welcome Marlow to The JUNOS” said Allan Reid, President & CEO of CARAS / The JUNO Awards. “Their mission-driven approach and commitment to accessibility and education align seamlessly with our values, and we’re excited to work together to create a more inclusive and supportive experience for everyone attending and participating in JUNO Week.”

The 2026 JUNO Awards continue to bring together the best of Canadian music, celebrating artistic excellence while partnering with brands that meaningfully enhance the experience for artists, fans, and industry alike.
