The first season of The Amazing Race Canada was a reality game show based on the American series The Amazing Race. It featured nine teams of two with pre-existing relationships who raced around Canada for {{CAD|250000}}, two Chevrolet Corvette Stingrays and an unlimited air travel for a year with Air Canada. The show was produced by Insight Productions, in association with Bell Media and was broadcast on CTV. The show was hosted by Canadian Olympian Jon Montgomery.

The series premiere aired on July 15, 2013 on CTV, with the season finale airing on September 16, 2013. Father and son Timothy "Tim" Hague, Sr. & Timothy "Tim" Hague, Jr. were the winners of this season of The Amazing Race Canada. They were the first parent-child team to win in any The Amazing Race franchise and at the time were the first team to win after overcoming two Speed Bumps.

Production

Development and filming

The first season was filmed from May 3 to May 24, 2013.^[1]

The winning team earned $250,000 (CAD), a pair of Chevrolet Corvette Stingrays, and Air Canada executive passes for unlimited international air travel for a year.

The series' premiere sponsorship partners included Air Canada, BlackBerry, Chevrolet, and Interac.

During the airing of the episode for Leg 3, a message read by host Jon Montgomery recognized that the 2013 Alberta floods had occurred since the filming of the leg and prior to the series premiere. The message encouraged viewers to donate to flood relief and rebuilding efforts.

The Leg 5 Pit Stop was originally scheduled to be on the grounds of the Saskatchewan Legislative Building, however unexpected warm weather brought more people out to enjoy the weather. The unforeseen circumstance forced producers to move the Pit Stop to nearby Pine Island (a more secluded spot).^[2]

On May 8, 2013, Toronto City Council granted permission for Insight Productions to film a television episode for "3 participants rappelling over the West Tower roof onto the podium green roof of City Hall" on May 24, 2013.^[3] Ultimately, this permit was a ruse to prevent fans from recording the event and posting it online.

In the first Roadblock of the final leg, one team member had to rappel face-first down the side of the L Tower, a building that was under construction at that time, about 44 stories tall. When they reached the roof of another three storey building, they would reunite with their partner and get the next clue.

In the final Roadblock of the Race, the team member did not participate the first Roadblock must match the provincial and territorial flags with the floral emblems visited during the race onto a map board. If teams were sharp, they would have noticed the Pit Stop greeters on each leg wore the floral emblem of their province or territory:

Once they got all the flags and emblems matched onto their map, they received their final clue.

Additional tasks

• Upon landing in Toronto, teams searched outside Pearson International Airport for a woman wearing a maple leaf baseball cap who would give them their next clue.
• After completing the first Roadblock, each team was given a Cadbury Caramilk bar inside their clue envelope, leaving them to figure out that they were headed to the Cadbury Gladstone Chocolate Factory.
• At the Cadbury Chocolate Factory, teams must search through cartons of Cadbury Caramilk bars to find one of three "golden chocolate bars". Once they found one, they will have to proceed to the president's office, where he will give the team a golden key to unlock a safe, where their next clue was located.
• At the Toronto Zoo, teams had to search the grounds for their next clue, which had been set up inside the panda exhibit.

Additional note

• At the start of the leg, teams received a free upgrade to business class on their flight to Toronto.
