Not sure if they've been to Winnipeg or not but that's Manitoba.
Also they haven't been to New Brunswick and P.E.I. and I'd be surprised if they did.

Can someone (non-geographically Canada challenged :lol: ) do a Province check for me?

We had a spec report of possible all Provinces. With Whitehorse unconfirmed...not sure about Yukon. Are we missing any others?

IFwe go to NLD next, then head back to Toronto via _____, have we hit them all? ???

Nope!

Manitoba was skipped over and PEI and New Brunswick is left.

Was there any verification that Kelowna was Pitstop City or just did they do some tasks and jump to Vancouver to finish off the 1st Leg.

If it wasn't that would leave another episode with PEI and NB right next to each other.

Here's a couple of Facebook sightings from Monday in Lunenburg:

at 11.40 I see a group of people at the shipyard looking at BII
Monday at 7:41am


This next one has a lot of detail and stuff to work on.

I had quite the encounter! I watched them do their challenge on the wharf, then nearly ran a team over when the darted out between buildings! That same team ran up to me in my car by Subway and asked directions to the Anglican Church, then I was signing a waiver as I was in the camera shot, another car backed up into the camera guy and drove off! I was fortunate enough to run into the same team again who had the final clue and was trying to find out where to go. It was our dime in a special box and needed to know the relevance it has to the town! All in all very exciting as a am a big fan of the show!

I hope the poor camera guy is OK! Our dime in a special box? Does Canada do special dime coins?

We have had special Dimes in Canada, but the picture on the majority of dimes is the Blue Nose Sailing Ship.

The Blue Nose II is a replica ship of the orginal Blue Nose. The Original ship is picture on the Canadian Dime.

Since they are in St. John's today - Signal Hill would make an awesome pitstop.

And it just happens that it doesn't open for the season until tomorrow...

They'll be glad they went to St. John's and not Gander some 200 miles (300km) away:

In Gander, 58 centimetres of snow fell between Saturday morning and Sunday night, with peak snowfall on Saturday evening.

From Nova Scotia, perhaps Prince Edward Island next?  Drive and either use ferry or the Confederation Bridge (there was a shot of it in one of the TV ads)?

Still hoping for more variety to happen in the Vancouver leg...Metropolitan Vancouver is truly a hidden gem. Also, Stanley Park would prove to be a lovely pit stop and/or task location, hope they pay it a visit!

Really hoping for a visit to Victoria, as well. (Not sure about the likeliness of this, however, because of the route already covering that area of Canada) :-[

Only 3 weeks to the premiere of TAR Canada!  :cheer:
I don't know about the rest of you, but I can't wait until July 15th!  :hearts:

Already we're seeing CTV promoting the show and the release of the info on the host Jon Montgomery and the first two teams.
And one of the sponsors - Interac Flash has been promoting their partnership with TAR Canada in Toronto. It'll be interesting to see how they tie in their debit card technology with the race!

I just saw the first advert with the teams for TAR Canada, and the clips showed the contestants running on my block, just outside my place. I wish I would have been more invested in this race and had seen them. Oh well, I will give this a chance when it comes on. But still utterly disappointed that it is only running in Canada.

I just saw the picture of the racers around Main and Hastings. This is a very 'colorful' area with respect to the people on the street. We watch the drug deals and use every day around Chinatown. I really wonder if they will comment at all on the poorest postal code in Canada. (or it used to be)

So sorry you missed them! I will say that having followed them closely, I am very excited to see all the different Canadian areas and the tasks along the way! I think this is going to be FUN.

Leafs.., is there anyone that could put the promo video into a social stream? Or contact TL or Peach if you find any on youtube :)

Yay! Only 8 more days  :yess:

Does anyone know if it will air in the US or not (worst case scenario is that I have to watch it on the computer, which is how I watch past American seasons anyway)?

We are hoping to find a way to watch without depending on later viewing...we'll see!

In the beginning of episode 2 they showed the prizes, and the cars being parked at what looks like the Toronto Islands. I am thinking this might be the finish line.

I thought the same thing. I may try to figure out the angle to the CN Tower + there is a reflection in the car.

No idea where to put this:

A behind the scenes video of the Regina leg. There is also glimpses of the unseen FF.
