The Snowbirds have been on a cross country tour to salute Canadians doing their part to fight the spread of COVID-19, according to the Department of National Defence. It's being called Operation Inspiration.
Nine jets will be flying by with their signature white smoke.
People are being advised to watch from their homes instead of travelling to see the flyovers.
The Snowbirds' airshows were put on hold starting in March 20.
