CENTRE WELLINGTON – Now in its 10th season, a recent episode of The Amazing Race Canada featured Elora, Aboyne, Fergus and Guelph.
The competitors' skills are challenged as they "race" around Canada, attempting to be the first team to reach "pit-stops," where they execute challenges and can find clues to the location of the next stop.
They can win prizes for each leg of the journey, but if they finish last during any leg of the competition, they face elimination or a significant disadvantage during the next leg.
Planes, trains, automobiles, helicopters, boats, on foot – the modes of transportation are varied as the teams make their way through multiple provinces and territories.
And the challenges they face are "related in some manner to the area of Canada wherein they are located or its culture," officials state.
They tried their hands (and mouths) at glass blowing at Kitras Art Glass in Fergus and created "live" paintings at the Elora Centre for the Arts.
Mark Lysadowski, executive producer of Amazing Race Canada , said choosing the Centre Wellington area as a location for the show was long overdue.
Lysadowski said he knows the area well and has visited many times, and knows the area is filled with art, agriculture and "a lot of great things" he wanted to share with the rest of the country.
