Edmonton's Chris Sadleir, who is the heart and soul of the event, received a doctor's recommendation of sitting out the 2022 event due to his arthritis and ...

A lot of people thought that was sort of the symbolism that would be the final year. So it’s taken a little bit of a different route this year with the full hope and expectation that we can come back bigger and better for 2023. Unfortunately, there is some genuine concern and need for attention.”

“It was great, what an amazing thing. He and Toni live on land that the Luco family has farmed since 1928. Each team was only on the property for about 20 seconds, said Frieburg who said they had to keep their dogs, including a young pup, out of the way of the contestants. In the Lethbridge episode, contestants had to memorize a list of vegetables at a southside Subway restaurant that they needed to get at the fruit farm. Before doing an interview with The Herald, the fruit farm owners had to check with producers to get the OK. They also had to fill out a number of non-disclosure forms prior to filming and couldn’t tell anyone they were part of it. They don’t know for sure who recommended them but the owners of CR Fruit Farm are thrilled the producers of “The Amazing Race” Canada asked them to be part of the reality TV series.

Shooters were using an old 1800s Buffalo Rifle with black powder cartridges that were loaded with cast bullets to shoot 500 metres at cut-out animal silhouettes ...

“When it was really popular in the 1970s and 1980s, we’d get 100 people coming to a shoot and like a big club rendezvous. “So to judge the range and wind out to 500 is difficult. It definitely takes a lot of practice and as you see from what we’re doing, to hit one or two out of ten is really good for most of us.” The turkeys are a little skinnier than the other ones, so they’re usually considered the most difficult. “I guess originally they would have a barbeque and shoot the animals that they were going to cook and make a contest out of it,” said Martens. But, yeah, they’re effective to that sort of range.
