The rockers opened the show with a performance of Something In Your Mouth and went on to clinch the event's three top musical prizes; Group of the Year, Album Of The Year and the Juno Fan Choice Award.
The honours left frontman Chad Kroeger overwhelmed, as he told the assembled crowd, "Wow, wow, we have been doing this for a while now - since '96 - and to win this - group of the year - is just absolutely amazing. Thanks to the fans and everybody here in Vancouver, thank you so much."
Other winners included rocker Sam Roberts who picked up the Artist Of The Year and Alexisonfire frontman Dallas Green, who walked away with the Songwriter Of The Year title.
Rockers Loverboy were inducted into the Canadian Music Hall of Fame at the ceremony at Vancouver's GM Place.
