They could (in theory) just travel by private bus, which would be easier if the race precedes in a coast-to-coast fashion (for example, starting line in Vancouver and traveling across Canada via private bus before ending on the east coast somewhere).

I also was thinking about that, they could really minimize the flights and do a lot of self driving / private bus / shuttle cars.
I think it's possible! They could film the whole of May with a July premiere!
I guess it will depends on how the situation is in April! It needs to be better than now..

Yes, absolutely. I'm not sure if the Atlantic Bubble is still going on, but I think most of Ontario is still on lockdown. Things could definitely change by late spring. I was also thinking that since indigenous communities might be particularly at risk, they might avoid the north all together (with possible exceptions of only visiting national parks, like having a whole leg in Nahanni or Kluane, which I actually think would be a fascinating leg).

I'm in BC and while the situation has improved compared to a month or so ago, but Bonnie Henry isn't exactly the type who would be fine with something like TAR filming in BC.
Knowing TAR Canada loves using BC for 2-3 legs every season due to its ideal climate in late April and May, I can't see them doing TARC unless they can include B.C.
Unless they cast ten teams of all health professionals who have already been vaccinated, the earliest projection for any cast members and producers to be vaccinated is July (June if we're lucky).
Considering they are extremely rigid about the airdate for all seven seasons, I presume they'll just want to push it back one more year when everything will be one hundred percent safe and they will have many more options on an already limited domestic table.
I ♥ TAR:
Any news? Is this happening before summer or not?
stunami:
There is no way they are doing this for the summer.
The only hope for 2021 would be that they film in October. The situation in Canada is terrible in BC/Alberta/Ontario
Quebec ain't doing much better.
I guess if everybody can be vaccinated before September, then maybe but my guess is that they will skip this year.
I'm praying they don't just cancel it forever :'(
Nuku:
Im not sure it is hard to say...
Yes provinces are doing bad but still compared to the US we are WAY better its just stricter guidelines...
Once we have herd immunity I don't see the problem with domestic travel...
And I know some places are already discussing dates they will open up to domestic travelers...
I think we could get a season filmed in like summer or maybe even early fall...
Some provinces are really struggling without domestic tourism like the atlantic provinces
