How many teams are supposed to be racing today? 5? 6?

6, presumably.

Leg 4 in HCMC was a Non-Elimination, so someone would have went home in Prince Rupert.

Hmm...10 teams, the season premiere being moved up a week this year.

Possibly 11 legs? :(

That would mean 4 NELs and/or KORs. Correct? Their ratings will be good and they won awards so I can't see them down-sizing the season. So odd.

I can see them extending the finale over two episodes, would that necessarily have to be a KOR?
And while we are talking finale, I think it appears more and more likely it will be eastern Canada.

Just FYI, the Collective Arts Brewery is a very unique place. A combo brewery and art gallery. Looks very interesting. It's not just a random art task at a random brewery, LOL.

Nice story about them in the Financial Post today (coincidence?).

There is a mural at Collective Arts by Peru Dyer Jalea.

Looks like the task may be to recreate a portion of his mural? ???

Union Station is in Toronto.

I will speculate they used Go Train from Hamilton Burlington into Toronto (which stops at Union Station).

They are currently at the terminal where you take trains outside Toronto, so literally can be anywhere in the USA/Ontario/Quebec where they are going.

Unfortunately I cannot get to Union Station atp!

Toronto-Hamilton-Burlington-Toronto - one leg already!

Well, they wouldn't be going west, which they could have done at Aldershot. So they are either going North or East.
Where do u buy the Union-Pearson express tickets? At the main counter?
And would this be a KOR?

Not sure where you buy the tickets, but the terminal is just few hundred mtrs. away.

This probably is a KOR

A team apparently seen on a train to Kingston (which is at the other end of Lake Ontario from Hamilton, 4 hour drive).

If that turned out to be a destination, I assume the nearby Thousand Islands will be involved.

Looking at the schedule, could be the Montreal train (see my edited post in sightings)
I wondered about Kingston this year though: Fort Henry; Royal Military; Queens U; CFB Kingston

Sir John A. MacDonald, Canada's first Prime Minister resided there as well. Bellevue National Historic Site, along with his grave and a statue at a downtown park.

That's right, I forgot the historical significance. Kingston was the original capital before Canada became a country.

Kingston Penitentiary would be an interesting place to visit too. According to an article I read on CBC today, they are actually opening it up this summer for tours.

I was thinking about that, the American race has visited prisons in the past. But I very much doubt they'd send racers there. This is after all where Bernardo is locked up.

But they are promoting it as a tourist attraction. Odd they just announced it.
We may be getting ahead of ourselves here. I haven't found any other sightings.

U het the tickets for the UP train at Union and a counter in Pearson, we asked them for information this week I don't know anywhere else
Kingston would be great! It has such history, but 2 Ontario legs and 2 Alberta legs, I don't like that cause the east coast needs at least 2 Atlantic/Maritime provinces

Yeah, with the early focus out West, East coast is looking more probable for the last few legs. If they finished in Newfoundland and Labrador, and didn't want to finish in St. John's, they could easily do a leg in Cape Breton then the last one in Newfoundland. Lots to do in Cape Breton for one leg, and with the Marine Atlantic Ferry from North Sydney to Port-aux-Basques, you could easily make your way to the west side of Newfoundland and finish with a scenic view from Gros Morne National Park, or somewhere else on the West side. Marine Atlantic also has a ferry from North Sydney to Argentia, which would put them 2 hours south of St. John's if they went back there as opposed to 9-10 hours with Port-aux-Basques like S1.
