The CF Snowbirds event is presented in partnership with Soldier On, a Canadian Forces charity dedicated to benefiting ill and injured Canadian Forces soldiers and veterans.
Since 2007, Soldier On has supported close to 10,000 members and disbursed over $8 million, helping them obtain sporting or recreational equipment such as bikes, golf gear, ski packages, fishing gear, and kayaks. They also facilitate participation in group structured activities, ranging from alpine skiing to fishing to hiking and multi-activity events.
“The CF Snowbirds received an overwhelmingly warm response during our previous visit for Op Inspiration in 2020. This time, we are absolutely thrilled to return and showcase
two full aerobatic shows over the stunning Petitcodiac River. As someone who grew up in Dieppe, it fills me with immense pride to bring the team to the place where my
aviation dreams began. We can’t wait to see all of you on June 17th and 18th,” says Capt. Richard MacDougall.
