Snowbirds Kick Off Cross Canada Tour In N.B. and N.S.

The Canadian Forces Snowbirds will be flying across the country to salute Canadians doing their part to fight the spread of COVID-19.

This unique mission is being aptly dubbed ‘Operation Inspiration’.

The team kicks off their cross-Canada tour in Nova Scotia today and will be moving west throughout the week.

The squadron will take off from Greenwood at about 2:30 this afternoon, flying east along the coast of the Bay of Fundy.

They’ll be over Colchester County at about 2:50, Halifax for 3 p.m. before heading northwest, back to Greenwood.

This will follow a fly over Saint John at 10:40 this morning and Fredericton around 11.

The Snowbirds say this is DAY 1 of the tour and will be posting locations, routes and times for the rest of the tour to their social media accounts daily.
