The 10th Canadian Film Awards were held on June 21, 1958 to honour achievements in Canadian film.^[1]

After a year of discussion, consensus had been reached on rearrangement of categories and the judging system. For this year, more than 140 films were entered, but the roster included no features, which was due to distrust, or lack of interest, on the part of the independent film community--this situation persisted until 1964. Also, as so many had requested, this year's ceremony was a luncheon; its host was Canadian Broadcasting Corporation Chairman Davidson Dunton.
