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.

The flight is only expected to take about an hour, with the landing in Trenton scheduled for 11:30 a.m.
