A milestone 10th season feels like an opportunity to include some of their remaining "bucket list" spots. Algonquin Park is jumping to mind. It's Canada's oldest provincial park, covering a huge area, and one of the most well-known they haven't visited yet.
Perfect to host their obligatory wilderness/outfitter-sponsored leg :P

I'm also thinking, given Maxville's proximity to Ottawa/Gatineau, the preceding leg may have been in Quebec, particularly with a rural/self-driving component.

Yes think this is possible too. TARC has been breaking up the Ontario legs in the past, which suggests they could have traveled to another province between Elora and Cornwall.
They could have driven from somewhere like Sherbrooke or the Eastern townships in Quebec. Ottawa airport is nearby, so they could have easily flown under the radar, pun intended :funny:

They were in Shawinigan, QC on Wednesday and Thursday. One task was at Dupont Ranch, which is known for its camels.

Translating the article and including the most interesting/relevant sections:
The Amazing Race Canada, which has been on screens for 10 seasons, visited the ranch because it has the largest herd of camels in Canada on its land, according to the owner, Mathieu Dupont.
According to him, the film crew stayed at the ranch for two days and left on Thursday afternoon.
The Amazing Race Canada team would be called upon to visit four or five locations in Mauricie for filming.
This article pretty much confirms Xoruz's spec that a task involved camels at Dupont Ranch.
So teams were in Mauricie Wednesday-Thursday, meaning there's still likely a missing leg between Elora (Saturday) and Mauricie. Given there were likely 8 teams in Russell, we should be on either the F5 or F4 today in Maxville.
Perhaps they also visited La Mauricie National Park? Though with the snow in Quebec, perhaps not. I'd imagine that teams likely flew or took a train into Trois-Rivières.
Xoruz:
Only Jon was in Elora on Saturday, so teams were there on Sunday.

Synthesizing yesterday's excellent sightings and detective work:
So, between Richmond, Penticton, Regina + Russell, Elora, and Mauricie (5 distinct locations), three teams - Sam & Brad (Father/Daughter), Olivia & Julia (Married F/F), and John & Connor - were eliminated. Unless they were all single-length leg, we burned the two NELS, and the race is returning to an eleven-leg format, I think Maanca's spec. below is onto something. It also means that we didn't miss a leg between Elora on Sunday the 5th and Mauricie on Wednesday-Thursday the 8th & 9th.
--- Quote from: Maanca on May 03, 2024, 02:36:38 PM ---With them adding an 11th team back in for the first time since Season 3, I'm thinking they might be leaning into TARUS' "no Non-Eliminations" thing.
TAR Canada has a propensity to repeat twists that worked for them before. For budget's sake, they might do a leg like Toronto last year, not a true "Megaleg" by US definition but enough to fill two episodes. That plus one KOR.

Given the back-to-back sightings in Richmond and Penticton, I'm going to relinquish my former position and assume that they were one leg - but two episodes. It would be fitting, from an editing perspective, to have Leg 3A in Richmond with 2 tasks and a U-Turn vote, teams fly to Penticton for a Roadblock and Detour, and Episode 3 ends with a cliffhanger before the results of the U-Turn are revealed.
That would then make:
* Regina-Russell Leg 4 (Episode 5)
* Elora Leg 5 (Episode 6)
* Mauricie Leg 6 (Episode 7), and
* Cornwall-Maxville Leg 7 (Episode 8) with 6 teams remaining
Seeing as teams finished Leg 6 on Thursday and raced Leg 7 on Friday, I'm going to suggest that Quebec is our best bet for a KOR, assuming the "no non-eliminations" logic (and continuing the tradition of Quebec nearly always resulting in a NEL or KOR :funny:).
