The awards are presented annually to Canadians in a variety of fields and this year, Reynolds was the recipient of the National Arts Centre Award. To mark the occasion, Canadian musician Steve Page sang a song written just for Reynolds called, "Canada Loves You Back," featuring people from the many organizations across the country that the actor supports.
Also included in the video, around the 1:30 mark, was a cameo from Henrik and Daniel Sedin, both wearing Reynolds Canucks jerseys, Stan Smyl and Canucks mascot FIN, to Reynolds' delight. He mouthed, "Wow," when he saw them during his emotional reaction.
