TORONTO (June 14, 2018) – THE AMAZING RACE CANADA is back for Season 6! Canada’s most-watched summer series for five consecutive years, THE AMAZING RACE CANADA welcomes returning partners Chevrolet, a sponsor of the series for all six seasons, and Woods, returning for the second consecutive year. New sponsors this season include Alcon Dailies Contact Lenses, Dempster’s, The Royal Canadian Legion, and SkipTheDishes. Featuring 10 intrepid teams of Canadian heroes, THE AMAZING RACE CANADA: HEROES EDITION airs Tuesdays at 8 p.m. ET / 9 p.m. PT, beginning July 3 on CTV and CTV GO.
Host Jon Montgomery welcomes a new cast of racers to the starting line, as THE AMAZING RACE CANADA delivers a new twist this season with courageous Canadians – teachers, first responders, community leaders, mentors, athletes, and other everyday heroes – joining the Race for Season 6.
Season 6 features an all-new Twitter contest, courtesy of Chevrolet. One lucky viewer will have the chance to win the same vehicle as the winners of THE AMAZING RACE CANADA: HEROES EDITION by answering questions based on the episode.
In addition, the series launches a “watch to win” contest on CTV.ca, courtesy of Alcon Dailies, where viewers can enter for a chance to win a $1,000 weekly prize and a $10,000 grand prize.
“THE AMAZING RACE CANADA continues to be a sought-after series for sponsors as proven by yet another strong group of partners for Season 6,” said Laird White, Director, Brand Partnerships, Bell Media. “With this summer’s heroes theme, expect plenty of fun, branded content and interactive viewer features all season long.”
CTV Brand Partnerships is working diligently with the sponsors to create innovative, engaging content across all broadcast, digital and social platforms. Season 6 will kick off the race with new teams and challenges, keeping Canadians on the edge of their seat the entire race. CTV Communications will announce this season’s batch of heroic teams on social media (@CTV_PR) and BellMediaPR.ca starting today.
Last summer, the fifth season of THE AMAZING RACE CANADA headlined CTV’s summer schedule with an average audience of 1.8 million viewers each week. Toronto couple Sam and Paul took home the Season 5 grand prize, which included a Next Generation 2018 Chevrolet Equinox True North Edition for each of the winners in addition to cash and trips.
