The Snowbirds are just a few months away from their final Canadian performance – slated to be held in Gatineau from September 18th to 20th. A week before that, on September 13th, they will take to the skies in Spencerville as their season winds down. But today, right here in Canada’s Capital, they will be embracing their last Canada Day flight for a while, as the feds plan to ground the outdated aircrafts until at least 2030. Darryl Shyiak, a retired RCAF Lieutenant-General and RCAF Pilot, is the Board Chair of the Snowbirds Alumni Association. He joins Andrew Pinsent on CFRA Weekends.

Canada Day celebrations in Eganville will take on a different form in 2026, as the long-standing fireworks show is replaced with a drone display. Bonnechere Valley Township is the first municipality in Renfrew County to make this call, and other municipalities will likely be watching and observing the success of this year’s experiment. Capital Drone Show co-founder Ben Favrin joins Andrew Pinsent on CFRA Weekends.
