http://www.factor.ca/ (my thanks to Eugene from The Remanes for informing me of such an organization)

FACTOR, The Foundation to Assist Canadian Talent on Records, was founded in 1982 by CHUM Limited, Moffat Communications and Rogers Broadcasting Limited, in conjunction with the Canadian Independent Record Producers Association (CIRPA) and the Canadian Music Publishers Association (CMPA). Standard Broadcasting merged its Canadian Talent Library (CTL) development fund with FACTOR’s in 1985.

As a private non-profit organization, FACTOR is dedicated to providing assistance toward the growth and development of the Canadian independent recording industry. The foundation administers the voluntary contributions from sponsoring radio broadcasters as well as two components of the Department of Canadian Heritage’s newly formed Canada Music Fund Council’s programs to support the Canadian music industry. FACTOR has been managing federal funds since the inception of the Sound Recording Development Program in 1986 (now known as the Canada Music Fund Council).

(Oh gawd, it's run by CHUM :) If you look under Completion Certificates, they have a Demo Award. (Get Your Docs>Completion Certificates>Demo Award). Interesting... - Tue, 14 Nov 2006 12:42pm Edited: Tue, 14 Nov 2006 1:25pm
