In this first episode of the second season of Canada’s Handyman Challenge, Host Jenn Roberston and Judges Scott McGillivray, Paul Lafrance and Bryan Baeumler travel to Halifax where they meet savvy contestants with pre-made plywood projects. From these hopefuls the judges select the top ten handymen in Halifax. These contestants take on their first challenge of building a gate in two hours, after which three contestants will be eliminated. The remaining seven contestants have to create a go-kart, scooter or unique buggy from a garbage bin of materials. Two more contestants will be eliminated after this challenge, and the remaining five are declared the Eastern Canada finalists.
