While racers were first seen at Toronto Pearson Airport and Union Station in Toronto on May 1, production later made its way to Peterborough, where locals reported seeing crews at several recognizable spots across the city.

Among the locations mentioned were Peterborough City Hall, Rogers Cove, Canadian Canoe Museum, Crary Park and Beavermead Park. The reported filming locations sparked plenty of curiosity around town as residents tried to piece together what challenges racers may have been taking on.

Production has also reportedly been seen in other parts of Canada, including a Viking-themed challenge in Gimli.

Season 12 of The Amazing Race Canada is scheduled to premiere on CTV and Crave this summer. Olympic gold medallist Jon Montgomery is returning as host for the new season and will once again guide a fresh group of competitors through the race.

For Peterborough viewers, the upcoming season could offer a chance to see some familiar landmarks appear on national television when racers hit the screen later this year.
