Mclean, a.k.a., Sudbury-born franco-Ontarian musician Simon Jutras, was presented with a Trille Or award at the 10th edition of the Trille Or Gala in Ottawa May 2.

The awards are handed out by the l’Association des professionnels de la chanson et de la musique (APCM).

The evening brought together artists, industry professionals and the general public from across the country to celebrate artistic excellence and celebrate French-Canadian music.
