Canadian Comedy Awards, also known as Beavers, were awarded in 22 categories.

The Canadian Comedy Awards 10th Anniversary Special was taped at Toronto's Masonic Temple in the fall of 2009. Samantha Bee and Jason Jones hosted the show, though when they had first agreed to do so they thought it was for the awards ceremony. Instead, it was a showcase of Beaver-winning comedians from the past decade. It was broadcast by The Comedy Network on 15 May 2010.
When the festival came to New Brunswick, James Mullinger and Lloyd Ravn stayed to build a comedy scene in the province. Seven years later Mullinger staged the show Every Comedian in New Brunswick featuring 42 local comics. Shane Ogden, who won the Funniest Person in New Brunswick contest as part of the CCAF, is also credited with bringing stand-up comedy to the province, and opened the first comedy club in Saint John in 2015.
