TORONTO (January 12, 2026) – Calling all home bakers! Proper Television today announces its cross-country casting tour for the landmark tenth season of THE GREAT CANADIAN BAKING SHOW on CBC, in addition to virtual casting. With its biggest casting tour to date, open baker auditions will be held in Edmonton, Alta., Winnipeg, Man., Toronto, Ont., Montreal, Que., Moncton, N.B., and Charlottetown, P.E.I. All talented home bakers are invited to bring their best baked creations for consideration.
This year also marks the first-ever casting events for the series in New Brunswick and Prince Edward Island.
Local bakers in each of the six regions are asked to register their attendance at the Eventbrite links below. Attendees should bring one home-baked item that will show off their design skills, techniques, and flavours. This item will be presented to THE GREAT CANADIAN BAKING SHOW casting team for tasting.
While online casting remains available for those who are not able to attend in person, the open call offers another chance to impress the casting team, plus the opportunity to meet bakers from previous seasons on site.
