The City of Barrie, the Canadian Forces Base Borden, the County of Simcoe, and the

at a media event on Tuesday, April 18.
With a de-commissioned Canadian Forces Snowbirds Tutor jet and a de-commissioned CF-18 Hornet
as the backdrop, Barrie Mayor Alex Nuttall officially announced that the free show will be returning to
Barrie’s Kempenfelt Bay on Saturday, June 10 and Sunday June 11.

Open Air Dunlop of the season, CFB Borden’s kiddie commando course and static displays, live music
at Meridian Place, and a free screening of Top Gun: Maverick at Meridian Place,” commented Mayor
Nuttall. “The economic impact major events like the Barrie Airshow have on our community is massive,
we are honored to be hosting the event once again.”

Forces Snowbirds (431 Air Demonstration Squadron), the Canadian Armed Forces SkyHawks
Parachute Team, a CF-18 tactical demonstration, and the Northern Stars Aeroteam.
