Snowbirds ready for Mother's Day fly-over

Local visit part of a morale-boosting, cross-country mission to lift people’s spirits during COVID-19

Snowbirds flyover. Take two.

The Canadian Forces Snowbirds announced on their Twitter account that they left CFB Trenton a little after 9:30 a.m., Sunday, to continue ‘Operation Inspiration’.

The nine Snowbirds will fly across southern Ontario, making stops in the Toronto area and London, before flying over Barrie and landing at Lake Simcoe Regional Airport for 5:15 p.m.

The event was to take place Saturday, but low visibility and snowy conditions forced the postponement.

The fly-over is part of a morale-boosting, cross-country mission to lift people’s spirits during the COVID-19 health crisis.

The Snowbirds were last in Barrie during the 2019 Canada Day celebrations, showcasing manoeuvres over Kempenfelt Bay.
