The Amazing Race Canada 6(also known as The Amazing Race Canada: Heroes Edition) [1] is the sixth 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 ten teams of two, consisting of everyday Canadian heroes, in a race across Canada and the world. [2] The grand prize included a CA$250,000 cash payout, a trip for two around the world, and two 2018 Chevrolet Traverse Redlines. [2] This season visited six provinces, one territory, and two additional countries and travelled over 50,000 kilometres (31,000 mi) during eleven legs. Starting in Colwood, British Columbia, racers travelled through British Columbia, the Yukon, Indonesia, Ontario, Manitoba, Prince Edward Island, Mexico, New Brunswick, and Alberta before finishing in Banff, Alberta. New twists introduced in this season include the Blind Double U-Turn and U-Turns placed at Detour decision points. The season premiered on CTV on July 3, 2018, [3] with the season finale airing on September 11, 2018.

On October 12, 2017, CTV announced that the show was renewed for its sixth season. [5]
Filming of The Amazing Race Canada 6 began on April 23, 2018, when the show's Facebook page broadcast the start of the season during its first of six "Jon on the Road: Presented by Chevrolet Facebook Live", [6] which featured Devon Soltendieck of etalk interviewing host Jon Montgomery at the starting line, Hatley Gardens in Colwood, British Columbia, before the competition began. [7] The five subsequent live streams featured Jon during filming of the season, offering hints about destinations on the racecourse. On April 28, racers were spotted in Salt Spring Island. [8]
During the airing of the tenth episode, a message in white on a black background – Dedicated to the people of Fredericton, New Brunswick – indirectly recognized the Fredericton shooting that had occurred since the filming of the leg and prior to the episode airing.
Chevrolet continued sponsoring the show and was the sole sponsor of the Facebook Live events. [1] Canadian Tire's outfitter brand Woods also continued their sponsorship from the previous season. New sponsors were Alcon Dailies contact lenses, Dempster's Bakery, Royal Canadian Legion, and SkipTheDishes. [9]
The cast included Olympic bronze medalist in skeleton, Mellisa Hollingsworth. Courtney Berglind had previously appeared in two episodes of Big Brother Canada 4 to compete in an award challenge on behalf of her sister, Kelsey Faith. [10] [11]
