The second season of The Amazing Race Canada was a reality game show based on the American series The Amazing Race. It featured eleven teams of two, each with a pre-existing relationship in a race across Canada and around the world. The winning team was awarded CA$250,000, two Chevrolet Silverado "High Country Edition" trucks, free gasoline for life from Petro-Canada and the ability to fly for free anywhere for a year with Air Canada in business class. Jon Montgomery returned as the host.
The season premiered on July 8, 2014 and the finale aired on September 21, 2014. Best friends Michael "Mickey" Henry and Peter "Pete" Schmalz were the winners.
On September 16, 2013, CTV announced that the show was renewed for the second season during the first season reunion special.
Unlike the first season, the race traveled to destinations outside of Canada like other international Amazing Race counterparts.
This show features MasterChef Canada judge Alvin Leung as a judge for the "Master Chef" task in Leg 3 and Hong Kong-Canadian actress Jennifer Tse, who greeted the teams in the Pit Stop on the same leg.
Casting began in November 2013, with an online site for submission of applications and audition videos. The first three teams were revealed on June 17, 2014, with the remaining teams announced on June 18 and June 20. The contestants include ice hockey players and gold medalists Natalie Spooner and Meaghan Mikkelson, ballet dancer Rex Harrington as well as comedian Ryan Steele from The Ryan and Amy Show
Alain Chanoine proposed to Audrey Tousignant-Maurice at the Pit Stop of Leg 8.
Air Canada and Chevrolet retain their sponsorship from the first season. The new prize includes receiving a gas supply from Petro-Canada and each leg prize includes cash from Scotiabank.
