Canada's Handyman Challenge Coming Back To Halifax

Well, Mike Holmes will NOT be a judge this season on Canada's Handyman Challenge, the forefather of All American Handyman, but that doesn't mean he isn't going to be involved at all on the show that he helped build - pun intended! During Mike's live chat on August 22 (see Holmes Spot Highlight Reel - August 22 Live Chat for details) Mike explained that he was pouring all of his time and energy into his latest show Holmes Makes It Right, set to air this fall on HGTV, and therefore wouldn't have time to commit himself full time to yet another show. However, he encouraged his fans to watch for possible special guest appearances he might make throughout the season. In this article, reposted from HalifaxNewsNet, it's said that Mike "will weigh in on who will be crowned the winner of Canada’s Handyman Challenge II and be awarded a $25,000 cash prize."

Canada’s Handyman Challenge is coming back to Halifax on Sept. 4 for a second season on a nationwide search for the best all around handyman and there's a $25,000 prize up for grabs.

Contestants will be put through rigorous challenges to test their handyman skills in order to win the title of Canada’s Best Handyman.

Teaming up for the first time as judges are HGTV celebrities Scott McGillivray (Income Property), Bryan Baeumler (Leave It To Bryan, House of Bryan) and Paul Lafrance (Decked Out, Deck Wars).

The all-star team of judges will travel to Halifax on Tuesday, Sept. 4, Vancouver on Monday, Sept. 10 and Toronto on Saturday, Sept. 15 to hold live auditions and recruit talented hopefuls.

In each of the cities a top four will be selected to represent their regions forming a top 12. Those 12 will go to Toronto to compete with their handyman talents.

Mike Holmes (Holmes Makes It Right, Holmes Inspection) will weigh in on who will be crowned the winner of Canada’s Handyman Challenge II and be awarded a $25,000 cash prize.

To compete on Canada’s Handyman Challenge, applicants must pre-register online at http://canadashandymanchallengecasting.ca

Each contestant needs to come to the audition with a project that must be constructed from - but not exceed - a four by eight foot sheet of three-quarter-inch thick plywood. No additional wood is allowed, but any type of hardware is permitted.
