Canada's Handyman Challenge - Season 1 (2012)

The all new Canada's Handyman Challenge kicks off with our host Jillian Harris and judges Mike Holmes, Scott McGillivray and Bryan Baeumler traveling to Vancouver to pick the 4 best handymen to represent the West in the National Handyman Finals. Contestants build a perfectly functioning garden gate in two hours and applying crown moulding which is extra tricky when the walls have uneven angles. The four left standing are declared "Western Canada" finalists.

Judges Mike Holmes, Scott McGillivray and Bryan Bauemler pick the 10 best handymen from Halifax to compete in challenge one. This time contestants build a chair in two hours and in the second round they're given just 20 minutes to install a fully functional toilet! The four best are declared the "Eastern Canada" finalists.

The judges went West, then East and now they've landed in Toronto to pick the best 10 handymen who will compete to represent Central Canada. For their first challenge, candidates must choose objects from a junk pile and build something fresh and fabulous in two hours flat! In round two they must finish shingling a roof. The last four standing are declared the "Central Canada" finalists.

For the final challenge, contestants build an outdoor living space.
