Community stakeholders and members from 22 Wing have already begun organizing ahead of the seventh annual North Bay Armed Forces Day. Members of the public are invited to walk through countless military static displays at Canadore College’s Aviation Campus from 10:00am to 6:00pm for Armed Forces Day  on June 16th.
Then the following day, a lead up to the Canada 150 celebrations will take place at the North Bay Waterfront starting at 5:00pm and running until 10:00pm. Demonstration teams taking to the sky this year include the Canadian Forces Snowbirds, the CF-18 Demo Team and the Canadian Forces SkyHawks.
Honorary Colonel George Burton says the success of North Bay’s Armed Forces Day is owed to the hard work and dedication of countless volunteers who come together year after year. Burton says they want this to be the biggest event ever in recognition of Canada’s 150th anniversary. He’s encouraging people to come out and show their support by wearing red to both events.
