From Quiz Detours of "The Amazing Race Canada 5"

Answer: Vancouver, British Columbia

After flying from St. John's, Newfoundland to Vancouver, British Columbia (across the entire country), teams spent all of the rest of their first leg of the race in B.C., completing their Road Block and Detour in the Downtown Vancouver area. After the Road Block, teams chose between two active tasks for their Detour, 'Pedal', which involved biking, and 'Paddle', which involved piloting a dragon boat. Ultimately, seven teams completed the bike polo challenge while only three paddled dragon boats before heading to the Pit Stop.

Answer: Corner Brook

Commencing Leg 7 of the race in Major's Hill Park in Ottawa, Ontario, teams were told to head to make their way to the airport to fly northeast, arriving in Corner Brook, Newfoundland (via Deer Lake). Upon landing there, the remaining six teams in the race needed to hop into 2017 Chevrolet Sparks and drive themselves to a specific Bank of Montreal branch in town to get their next clue. This happened to come in the form of a video message from the racers' families, of course resulting in emotional events.

Answer: Nelson

To begin the third leg of the race, the remaining eight teams opened clues in Wood Buffalo, Alberta and were told to make their way back into British Columbia, taking a flight from the nearby city of Fort McMurray and landing in the Kootenay Region in Castlegar. Teams were told to locate their vehicles for this leg of the race-- a series of Chevrolet Bolt EVs-- and for this leg, they would be told to measure their efficiency with the regenerative braking feature. Whichever team was the most efficient would win a $5,000 reward at the Pit Stop.

Answer: Newfoundland and Labrador

Heading almost as far east as they could go, the ten teams in this fifth Canadian "Amazing Race" gathered at the starting line at the Queen's Battery in St. John's, Newfoundland, where they were given the go from Jon Montgomery and told to race up to Cabot Tower on Signal Hill for their first task. At that windy spot, teams needed to listen for a morse code message, then decode it with a provided guide to get their next destination and, subsequently, their next clue. Nine of the teams completed this task while Andrea and Ebonie instead decided to take an early penalty to get to the airport first; they would serve out their two-hour penalty upon arriving at the Pit Stop.

Answer: 'The Cart'

In Redburn, Karen and Bert found their Speed Bump task directing them to the barn to clean a horse's stable. All other teams dug into their Detour task, a choice between 'The Horse' and 'The Cart'. In 'The Horse', teams had to take part in a horse auction with one racer becoming an auctioneer and the other calling from the crowd. If they could follow the etiquette properly and auction off a horse, they could receive their next clue. In 'The Cart', teams instead moved and managed a grain auger, using it to transport one thousand kilograms of canola seed into a cart. This was a Canada 150 Challenge. Sam and Paul, Adam and Andrea, and Karen and Bert put 'The Cart' before 'The Horse' while Korey and Ivana and Kenneth and Ryan bid on 'The Horse' first.

After visiting the BMO location, teams drove to the discovery center at Gros Morne National Park to find a Detour clue waiting for them. In 'Family Story' teams needed to listen to three actors recite details of the family tree of the Norse Gods to celebrate the Viking landing in the area. Once they built an accurate family tree of the Norse pantheon, they could get their next clue. This was done by Karen and Bert and Adam and Andrea. Other teams completed 'Find Your Dory', which had teams paddle a dory boat into Bonne Bay to locate a marked lobster trap containing their next clue. Before this, Andrea and Ebonie had to complete a Speed Bump task for placing last in Leg 6. For this, they had to participate in an archery challenge and accumulate points on a bullseye. After getting twenty-five points, they continued on the race course.

There, they found the Artist's House, a local stage, Donning outfits and learning how to operate a traditional Thai puppet, they needed to perform in front of an audience in silence to get their next clue.

From Quiz "The Amazing Race Canada 5" [1]

Answer: Vancouver

Teams heading out from St. John's were told that their next clue would be near Vancouver, British Columbia's Capilano Suspension Bridge, so when they flew across the entire country, they ended up getting their next task from a falconer high up in the Suspension Bridge Park. This clue sent teams back into the city to find the statue of "Gassy Jack" Deighton in Gastown, and it's there that racers encountered their first Road Block clue of the race.

Completing the Detour teams needed to drive themselves to Rouleau, Saskatchewan to find the Dog River Hotel, a location made famous by the long-running CTV comedy show "Corner Gas". Upon arriving in the parking lot they could come face-to-face with the final Double U-Turn of the competition. Kenneth and Ryan, first to arrive, exacted revenge by U-Turning Sam and Paul while Korey and Ivana snuck ahead to U-Turn Adam and Andrea. Both U-Turned teams had to return to the Detour to complete 'The Horse'. After this, teams continued to Moose Jaw, Saskatchewan to build a maple leaf (as per a photograph) using cans of Campbell's Chunky Soup. When they had a stable maple leaf, they got their next task.

Answer: Five-Pin Bowling

After the Detour, teams were directed back into Corner Brook to participate in the fourth Canada 150 Challenge of the race at Corner Brook Centre Bowl. There, teams found the first Face Off in this season, taking turns going head-to-head at ten frames of five-pin bowling, a variation of the sport seemingly exclusive to Canada. If the team won their game, they could continue, but if they lost, they would need to face the next team in line. The last team to remain would have to wait out a predetermined amount of time before continuing on in the race.

Answer: Adam and Andrea

In Leg 5, teams reaching the Caturday Café were also greeted with the appearance of a Fast Forward task, allowing one team to skip all tasks in the leg and proceed directly to the next Pit Stop. For this task, participants needed to make their way by taxi to the National Stadium in Bangkok where they had to learn how to play hoop takraw, a sport played with feet involving kicking a ball into a suspended net. If the team could kick the ball back and forth once before scoring a goal, they could collect the Fast Forward clue. The task was completed by Adam and Andrea.

In Beijing, China in Leg 4, teams took part in one of two Detour tasks at the Ying Tung Natatorium, one of which ('In Sync') involved synchronized diving from a five meter platform and the other of which 'In Line' involved learning a choreographed line dance with a flash mob. Several teams attempted the former task, attempting to earn points from the judges to get their next clue, but Korey and Ivana had to switch tasks when Ivana received some serious back pain. This pain would follow her through subsequent legs. Doctors would later tell her (after the race) that she fractured three of her vertebrae.
