This exposure is anticipated to positively impact local tourism, drawing visitors eager to experience the sites showcased on the show,” a spokesperson from the Township of Centre Wellington said in an email statement to CTV News.
Local partners, including Elora & Fergus Tourism, Visit Guelph, Wellington County, and RTO4, worked with Insight Productions and CTV to bring the show to the community.
“The main reason we chose the Fergus, Guelph, Elora and Wellington County Region is because we have never been. It’s always been on my mind of destinations to showcase on The Amazing Race Canada,” said Mark Lysakowski, executive producer and showrunner at Insight Productions. “While the region is well-known in South and Central Ontario for its wide range of industry, farming, arts, and education, we don’t know if its as well-known from coast to coast to coast and that is one of the primary missions of The Amazing Race Canada – to showcase and celebrate the people and communities large and small to a national audience.”
Viewers are invited to watch this week’s episode on the patio of the Guelph Civic Museum on Tuesday from 8 p.m. – 10 p.m.
The Fergus Grand Theatre will also be hosting a viewing party of their own. Doors will open at 8:30 p.m.
This is The Amazing Race Canada's 10th season. A team who participated until they were eliminated third was a duo from Ontario, one of whom is from Erin.
