We’ve been asked to do what we do best… inspire Canadians,” said Lieutenant-Colonel Mike French, Commanding Officer, Canadian Forces Snowbirds. “Through Operation INSPIRATION, we not only want to salute the front-line health-care workers, first responders, and essential workers, but also all Canadians doing their part to stop the spread of COVID-19. We want Canadians to know we’re in this with you.”

The much anticipated visit to London was well received and hundreds of people came out to view the Snowbirds. The visit was a great moral boost during the COVID-19 restrictions. This telephoto image is deceiving as all families remained with their cars and respected social distancing rules.
