TORONTO, July 3, 2018 /CNW/ - It was a heartfelt goodbye for retired Air Force Pilots Chewy and Happy in tonight's Season 6 premiere of THE AMAZING RACE CANADA: HEROES EDITION. Chewy struggled to complete the Roadblock on his first attempt, but managed to still stay within reach of other racers. Sadly, the boisterous friends fell short in a foot race against Joseph and Akash to the mat, and the Ontario based duo became the first team eliminated at the Pit Stop at the Britannia Mine Museum. With nine teams remaining in the competition, THE AMAZING RACE CANADA returns next Tuesday, July 10 at 8 p.m. ET / 9 p.m. MT on CTV and CTV GO.
