The Amazing Race Canada 5

The Amazing Race Canada 5 is the fifth season of The Amazing Race Canada, a Canadian reality competition show based on the American series The Amazing Race. Hosted by Jon Montgomery, it featured ten teams of two, each with a pre-existing relationship, in a race across Canada and the world. The grand prize included a CA$250,000 cash payout, a trip for two around the world, and two 2018 Chevrolet Equinox SUVs. This season visited six provinces and three additional countries and travelled over 50000 km during eleven legs. Starting in St. John's, racers travelled through Newfoundland and Labrador, British Columbia, Alberta, China, Thailand, Ontario, Quebec, Panama, and Saskatchewan before finishing in Quebec City. A new twist introduced in this season was the 150 Challenge, which was a task themed after the 150th anniversary of Canada. The season premiered on CTV on July 4, 2017, with the season finale airing on September 12, 2017.

Dating couple Sam Lambert and Paul Mitskopoulos were the winners of this season, while best friends Kenneth McAlpine and Ryan Lachapelle finished in second place, and personal trainers and best friends Korey Sam and Ivana Krunić finished in third place.

Development and filming
On October 12, 2016, CTV announced that the show was renewed for the fifth season.

This season featured the addition of several real-time interactive features during the airing of each episode, including trivia, polls, and a national leaderboard. Additionally, viewers were able to explore locations seen throughout the race through virtual 360 degree views, including this season's starting line: Signal Hill National Historic Site in St. John's, Newfoundland and Labrador.

Included among the 360-degree view videos on CTV's official YouTube page was of a game of underwater hockey being played in the swimming pool at the Centre Sportif de Gatineau in Gatineau, Quebec. This was the only 360-degree location to never be seen nor mentioned on air, so it is unknown whether this was originally intended to be a task during the visit to Gatineau in the sixth leg, or was simply unaired.

To mark the occasion of 2017 being the 150th anniversary of the Confederation of Canada, some legs featured a specially-themed task called a 150 Challenge.

According to executive producer John Brunton, an overseas visit to Kenya was originally planned, but was scrapped due to safety concerns.

Casting
Casting began on October 12, 2016, and as in the previous four seasons, an online site was used for submission of applications and audition videos. Casting closed on December 1, 2016.

Programming
Similar to previous seasons, a special season-end reunion/recap again titled "After The Race", again hosted by the cast of The Social, aired immediately after the season finale to review the season as a whole.

Marketing
Trip sponsor Hotels.com, outerwear sponsor Mountain Equipment Co-op, and Mentos discontinued their sponsorships; Chevrolet continued sponsoring the show along with Bank of Montreal (BMO). New sponsors for this season are trip sponsor Sinorama Holidays, Canadian Tire's Woods brand as outerwear/outfitter sponsor, and the Campbell Soup Company.

As additional marketing for sponsor Chevrolet, following each episode, a special series by previous season winners Steph LeClair and Kristen McKenzie entitled Backseat Drivers (a reference to the Roadblock clue in leg 6 of their season) was featured in the bonus videos. In these clips, Steph & Kristen discussed the events of the previous episode while driving a differing Chevrolet vehicle, sometimes stopping to pick up a team from a previous season and discuss what's changed in their lives since their respective season. The featured teams included Hal & Joanne and Holly & Brett from season 1, Rex & Bob from season 2, Brent & Sean and Hamilton & Michaelia from season 3,  Frankie & Amy from season 4, and this year's winners Sam & Paul for the finale installment.

Cast
The cast included former Canada's Next Top Model cycle 3 contestant Ebonie Finley-Roberge.

Future appearances
Sam & Paul were the Pit Stop greeters of during the sixth leg of season 6 at Ireland Park in their hometown of Toronto.

On February 5, 2020, Karen & Bert competed with their family on an episode of Family Feud Canada. On November 30, 2020, Sam competed on the same show with his family.

 * In this leg's first Roadblock, one team member had to climb down a cargo net suspended from the pedestrian bridge over Montmorency Falls in order to retrieve their next clue, and then climb back up to reunite with their partner.
 * At the Place de Bordeaux plaza in the Saint-Roch neighbourhood, teams had to choose a cycle rickshaw with one team member serving as the driver and the other as the dispatcher. Using only a list of locations, a map with street names and places written in French, and walkie-talkies, the dispatcher had to give the driver directions through the streets of Old Quebec in order to pick up three passengers and transport them to their proper destination, at which point, each passenger gave a colour-coded card to the driver. After returning to the Place de Bordeaux with all three cards, teams received their next clue.
 * At the storage warehouse of the Quebec Winter Carnival, teams had to search through numerous figures of Bonhomme, the snowman mascot of the festival, in order to find their next clue, which was a box of chocolates from Érico Chocolatier wrapped in a yellow and red ribbon. Once teams arrived at Le Musée du Chocolat Érico, they could exchange the box for a giant chocolate egg, which they had to break open in order to find their next clue.
 * In this season's final Roadblock, the team member who did not perform the previous Roadblock had to pull themselves up the side of the 31-storey Édifice Marie-Guyart to the rooftop. Once at the top, they had to search the city and spot a yellow and red Amazing Race flag on the roof of their next destination, the Morrin Centre, and then take the elevator down to reunite with their partner.
 * At the Morrin Centre, teams found a bag of puzzle pieces that formed a large map of Canada, and ten cards referencing challenges throughout the season, six of which were the 150 Challenges. Once the puzzle was fully assembled in a frame, teams then had to place only the six correct 150 Challenge cards over the city in which the challenges took place in order to receive their final clue, which directed them to the finish line at the Parc des Ancêtres on the Island of Orléans.
