Public Service Announcement: #FlyingInFormation over the Highway of Heroes Three CC-130J Hercules aircraft, from 436 Transport Squadron at 8 Wing/Canadian Forc...es Base (CFB) Trenton, will conduct a flyby over the Highway of Heroes from Trenton to Toronto, ON at approximately 11 a.m. on Wednesday, November 11, 2020 for Remembrance Day. Part of the 401 Highway connecting CFB Trenton and the Don Valley Parkway in Toronto is called the Highway of Heroes in honor of the Canadian Armed Forces members who made the ultimate sacrifice to support military operations. With COVID-19 restrictions in place across the country, the RCAF encourages Canadians to mark Remembrance Day from their homes to the greatest extent possible, and observe flybys from a distance in accordance with local public health guidelines. During the flybys, the aircraft will fly at minimum altitudes above the highest obstacle in their path. Flybys conducted by #RCAF aircraft are carefully planned and closely controlled for public safety, and are dependent upon weather and flying conditions.

Over 30 years ago, 14 promising futures were erased at École Polytechnique. They were victimized for simply being women who aspired to pursue careers in the field of engineering. Today we honour their memory, and reaffirm our commitment to stopping gender-based violence.

This Remembrance Day on Wednesday, November 11th, we will be honouring those who have served and continue to serve Canada in the military with flyovers over cen...otaphs and cemeteries in Waterloo Region and Guelph. Honour Flight 1 will consist of our T-33, MiG-15, and L-29 flying over cenotaphs in the Region of Waterloo and Guelph. Honour Flight 2 will be conducted by our Harvard Mk IIb with flights over cemeteries in Waterloo, Kitchener, Galt, and Guelph. We will be in the air starting at 10:40 a.m. for Honour Flight 1 and 10:30 a.m. for Honour Flight 2. Please note the route maps displayed show the specific cenotaphs and cemeteries our aircraft will be flying over. The route between each point may vary. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, members of the public are asked not to come to the Region of Waterloo International Airport to observe these flights. We encourage you to watch from public locations near the cenotaphs shown while respecting all municipal and Public Health guidelines for social distancing. For more information and more detailed timing of our flights, please visit our website at https://waterloowarbirds.com//remembrance-day-honour-fligh and check back here over the next few days for any updates!
