Don't miss our world record attempt—streaming live!
The Montreal Highland Games are counting on history happening! Montreal-born Jason Baines will attempt to smash the world record for the most caber tosses in 60 minutes. The current record stands at 122 tosses by fellow Canadian Kevin Fast. To qualify as a successful toss, the caber must be thrown up in the air at such an angle that the top end hits the ground, allowing the caber to flip end over end. The caber is usually at least 16 feet long, and can weigh 80 pounds or more. Join us online on August 1 and cheer Jason on! |
Meet Jason Baines as he prepares to make history!

A veteran of Montreal's and Toronto's radio scenes, Kelly Alexander is living her dream.
Born and raised on a Laurentian farm north of Montreal, a young Kelly-the-farm-girl yearned to make people laugh by way of a microphone. Kelly is thrilled to bring her in-depth style of interviews to the Kelly Alexander Show where she gets to chat with amazing rising stars in the entertainment industry as well as established award-winning artists.
Away from the microphones and headsets, Kelly is a passionate martial arts instructor. A student of Yoseikan karate since the age of six (she is a fourth dan blackbelt), she continues to compete in various tournaments in and around Quebec while sharing and teaching her love of the art form to children and adults.
