The Amazing Race Canada 3

The Starting Line for the third season of The Amazing Race Canada was located in Quebec City at Dufferin Terrace, facing Château Frontenac.

On September 23, 2014, CTV announced that the show was renewed for a third season during the second season reunion special.[3]

Filming took place in May 2015 with racers spotted in the Okanagan on May 24.[4][5] The finale was filmed on May 28 in Vancouver and Whistler, British Columbia.[1]

This season, teams faced a brand new twist called the Face Off, where teams had to compete head-to-head in a challenge, where only the winning teams could move on to the next challenge, while the losing team had to wait for new challengers. The team who lost the last Face Off faced a time penalty.[6] In an article for the official Amazing Race Canada CTV website, the Face Off was described as "first and exclusive" to the Canadian edition with host Jon Montgomery stating that they "invented" the twist, despite having already been introduced under various names in at least five other Amazing Race editions worldwide.[7]

Casting began on November 24, 2014, and as in the previous two seasons, an online site was used for submission of applications and audition videos.[3]

Similar to the previous season, after episode 7, a special mid-season reunion/recap titled "After The Race" aired. Hosted again by James Duthie, the program reviewed the events of the first seven episodes with the first six eliminated teams, minus Amanda who was unable to attend. Duthie hosted another "After The Race" immediately after the season finale with every contestant present.

Scotiabank discontinued their sponsorship, while BMO Financial Group became the newest sponsor.

• In this season's final Roadblock, the team member who did not perform the previous Roadblock was given a single ski of specific height and binding size and had to search among thousands of skis for the one that completed the pair. Once an instructor confirmed that they had a matching pair, both team members had to ride the Peak 2 Peak Gondola to Blackcomb Peak and make their way to Momentum Ski Camp. For the second part of the Roadblock, the participating team member had to ski down a ramp and successfully complete a ski jump into a pool in order to receive their final clue directing them to the finish line: the Nicklaus North Golf Course.

Additional note

• A year's supply of gas was awarded to the "fan favourite" team based on an online vote. Dana & Amanda received this prize. Although Gino & Jesse had actually won the vote, this prize went to the team with the second highest number of votes because Gino & Jesse won The Amazing Race Canada 3.
