The season premiered on July 2, 2019[1] with the season finale airing on September 10, 2019.

Production

Development and filming

Teams gathered at David Pecaut Square near Metro Hall in Toronto to begin the season.

On November 22, 2018, CTV announced that a seventh season of The Amazing Race Canada was set to air in the summer of 2019.[4] Similar to the previous season, the show broadcast the start of filming on its social media pages on April 23, 2019 with SportsCentre anchor Kayla Grey interviewing host Jon Montgomery and revealing the "Canada's Choice" returning team.[2] The show also posted clips during filming to their social media pages that offered hints about the locations visited by the season as part of the "Jon on the Road: Presented by Chevrolet" series.

This season was the first season not to feature a U-Turn board, but also introduced a variation called the Double One Way, which allowed teams to force others to complete one specific task of the Detour. First appearing in Leg 3, it was a Blind Double One Way allowing teams to do so anonymously. Lauren & Joanne used the One Way on Trish & Amy, while Sarah & Sam used it on Gilles & Sean.

For the first time since Season 1, the season's racecourse stayed entirely within Canada.[5]

The finale was dedicated in memory of Season 5 contestant Kenneth McAlpine who died in a hiking accident on Mount Gimli in the West Kootenay region of British Columbia on August 26, 2019 at the age of 28.[6][7][8] A picture of McAlpine and a memorial message was aired during broadcasts of the finale.

Casting

Casting for the seventh season began on November 22, 2018. During a Facebook Live event on December 17, 2018 about casting for the new season, producer Mark Lysakowski commented that they were "looking for people that want to share a story that is a new lease on life. Or a second chance if you will."[9] Initial casting ended on January 2, 2019.[4]

Between June 11 to June 13, one team a day were revealed on each of the CTV network shows Your Morning, The Marilyn Denis Show, and The Social.[10][11][12] This season's cast includes Lethwei World Champion Dave Leduc; writer, actress, and model Irina Terehova; Olympic hurdler Sarah Wells; sprinter Sam Effah; and noted two-spirit Indigenous doctor James Makokis.

Canada’s Choice

On March 21, 2019, the show announced on its social media pages that fans would be able to vote for one of three previous teams to return for a second chance. Voting closed on April 1, 2019. The three teams were:[13]

Jet & Dave were revealed as the winners of the vote at the Starting Line.[2]

Marketing

Chevrolet returned as a sponsor for the show and was the sole sponsor of the "Jon on the Road" videos. Dempster's Bakery also retained their sponsorship from the previous season. New sponsors this season include Clif Bar, Dairy Farmers of Canada, Disney's The Lion King, Expedia, Paramount's Dora and the Lost City of Gold, Royal Ontario Museum, Shell Canada's V-Power fuel, The Source and Webber Naturals.

After each episode, CTV posted a video online as part of a weekly series called "Tastes of the Race", which featured previous season racers Martina & Phil facing off in a cooking competition inspired by the season's locations while using Dempster's products.[14]
