The public have honoured Blue Rodeo's past in the 2016 Slaight Family Polaris Heritage Prize. The contest celebrates Canadian album from various eras. There are two winners for each section: one voted by the public and the other by a jury. Blue Rodeo's Five Days in July, which features Hamilton's Kim Deschamps (he's no longer a member), won the public vote for the 1986-95 category. The jury chose Mary Margaret O’Hara's Miss America.
