Production[]
Development and filming[]
The day after the finale of Season 7, CTV announced the renewal of the show for an eighth season.[4]
After the COVID-19 pandemic led to CBS suspending production of the thirty-third season of American edition of The Amazing Race[5] and Network 10 limiting the racecourse for the fifth season of The Amazing Race Australia to Australia,[6] Mike Cosentino, the President of Content and Programming at Bell Media, stated in mid-March 2020 that "decisions around the upcoming eighth season will be made with the health and safety of the Racers and the crew as the top priority."[7] As the COVID-19 pandemic in Canada worsened, Consentino stated two months later that pre-production for the upcoming season had been halted due to safety concerns.[8] On June 23, 2020, the show announced on its social media that the season had been postponed until 2021.[9] Insight Productions CEO John Brunton then stated in an interview on June 3, 2021 that the season would be delayed a second time to 2022 at the latest for safety reasons.[10] Bell Media confirmed the second postponement at upfronts a week later with Justin Stockman, Bell Media's vice-president of content development and programming, announcing that the show would be a part of CTV's summer 2022 schedule.[11][12]
On April 26, 2022, Ivanoh Demers of Radio-Canada reported that crew members were at La Grande Roue de Montréal.[13] Teams were in Lethbridge, Alberta on April 30.[14] On May 1, the show filmed in Fernie, British Columbia.[15] Filming in Canmore, Alberta occurred on May 4.[16] Racers were spotted in Kelowna and Vernon, British Columbia on May 6 & 7.[17][18][19] Filming took place in Belleville and Picton, Ontario on May 12.[20] A task at the Richmond Night Market occurred on May 21, the date when filming officially wrapped.[21]
For the first time in the series, host Jon Montgomery doesn't introduce the teams; instead, the teams introduce themselves.
By happenstance, retired National Hockey League player Ron Sutter helped siblings Jesse Cockney and Marika Sila with directions during Leg 2 in Lethbridge, Alberta.[22]
2022 Winter Paralympics gold medalist Mark Arendz appeared as the Pit Stop greeter during the fourth leg in Canmore, Alberta.
This season introduced two new obstacles: the On Ramp and the Pass. The On Ramp was a task that allowed teams to find an On Ramp Pass and return to The Amazing Race Canada. The Pass was an obstacle that is similar to the Yield. The team that received the Pass would have to wait for another team to arrive and pass them before continuing on. Also, for the first time in Amazing Race Canada history, four teams competed in the final leg.
