The Amazing Race Canada 1 is the first season of The Amazing Race Canada, a Canadian reality competition show based on the American series The Amazing Race. Hosted by Jon Montgomery, it featured nine teams of two, each with a pre-existing relationship, in a race across Canada. The grand prize included a CA$250,000 cash payout, two Chevrolet Corvette Stingrays, and unlimited air travel for a year with Air Canada. This season visited seven provinces and three territories and travelled over 23,000 kilometres (14,000 mi) during ten legs. Starting in Niagara Falls, Ontario, racers travelled through Ontario, British Columbia, Alberta, the Northwest Territories, the Yukon, Saskatchewan, Quebec, Nunavut, Nova Scotia, and Newfoundland and Labrador before finishing in Toronto. The series premiere aired on July 15, 2013, on CTV, with the season finale airing on September 16, 2013.
Father and son Timothy Hague, Sr. and Timothy Hague, Jr. were the winners of this season, while brothers Jody and Cory Mitic finished in second place, and sisters Vanessa Morgan and Celina Mziray finished in third place.
The first season was filmed from May 3 to May 24, 2013.[1][2]
The winning team earned CAD$250,000, 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 third episode, 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 fifth leg's 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 day outdoors. This unforeseen circumstance forced producers to move the Pit Stop to nearby Pine Island (a more secluded spot).[3]
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.[2] Ultimately, this permit was a ruse to prevent fans from recording teams rappelling off a different building and posting it online.
Casting began on December 20, 2012 with an online site for submission of applications and audition videos.[4]
Notable contestants included Body Break hosts Hal Johnson and Joanne McLeod, amputee veteran Jody Mitic, and actress Vanessa Morgan.[5]
At the live start of season 7 on April 23, 2019, it was revealed that Jet & Dave would return to compete for a second time, as the winners of a public vote that closed on April 1.[6]
Vanessa Morgan competed on the Paramount Network reality competition Lip Sync Battle in 2019.[7]
The following teams are listed with their placements in each leg. Placements are listed in finishing order.
The season ranked as the number one new show in Canada, and the number one show in Canada for the year, with an average audience of 3.5 million viewers.[10]
Inside the envelope was just a direction, make it to the next Pit Stop, and there was a label. And the label was Quails' Gate, so our bottle label.
