After reviewing hundreds of projects and the results of intense audition challenges, the judges have chosen the top 16 finalists of the competition. With a big prize and bragging rights on the line, these contestants are ready to give everything they've got as Canada's Handyman Challenge continues Tuesdays at 10pm ET/PT on HGTV Canada.
Each contestant was tasked with making an original plywood project to impress the judges before competing in challenges ranging from building rocking horses and mini putt courses to catapults and water towers. The finalists vying for the title of Canada's Best Handyman are:
As the competition continues, finalists are thrown into skill-testing battles that push the limits of their creativity, resourcefulness, and fundamental handyman knowledge. They'll go from building an entire patio space to facing a one-on-one quiz with each judge, with unexpected twists thrown in along the way. The season culminates in an impressive finale build, where Mike Holmes (Holmes Makes It Right) adds his expertise to the all-star judging panel to award the winner of Canada's Handyman Challenge with $25,000 and the title of Canada's Best Handyman.
