The Canadian Armed Forces flight demonstration team, otherwise known as the Snowbirds, will be continuing their cross-country flight over much of eastern Ontario on Friday.

The tour is aimed at boosting morale as Canadians continue to struggle amid the COVID-19 pandemic.

On Thursday, the squadron travelled from Quebec City to Ottawa.

On Friday, the Snowbirds will be taking off from Ottawa around 10:30 a.m., travelling to Perth, over Smiths Falls, down to Brockville and following the Highway 401 corridor over Kingston and Belleville before ending at Canadian Forces Base Trenton.
