They had to search for their specified date and figure out which historic Canadian event took place on that date (Mickey & Pete: March 25, 1986 - Introduction of the loonie coin; Natalie & Meaghan: March 30, 1949 - Adoption of "O Canada" in English and French; Ryan & Rob: December 15, 1964 - Introduction of the new Canadian flag), If they found it, they could bring their answer to the Library of Parliament to receive their next clue.
• At the National Gallery of Canada, teams would have to put together an art installation known as 'Paintings from the Race'. They would have to choose from a large selection of paintings, 36 of which depicted places seen on the race (some paintings are of unrelated scenes from past Race versions, including the original American franchise). They would have to arrange these paintings into the correct places on the wall, three for each leg of the race. Once all of the paintings were correct, teams would receive their final clue.
