VANCOUVER A group of wildfire fighters who were supposed to arrive in B.C. on Monday were delayed due to mechanical issues, according to a statement from the BC Wildfire Service. Their flight had been scheduled to land at the Abbotsford International Airport on July 5, but has been rescheduled to Tuesday, July 6. Earlier in the day, Jean Strong, information officer for BC Wildfire Service, told CTV News Vancouver that they were expecting 92 firefighters, 47 of whom are from New Brunswick and 45 of whom are from Quebec. The news of the delay comes amid more wildfire evacuation alerts and orders issued Monday, including one in the Canim Lake area, and as 198 wildfires burn in the province, 46 of which started in the past two days.
Canadian Forces Snowbirds, who are celebrating their 50th season this year, are scheduled to be one of the many highlights in this show. Plans also call for a United States Air Force F-22 Raptor to appear, plus a Royal Canadian Air Force CF-18 Hornet, and a few surprises. Twilight evening performances with fireworks will also take place during the first two days of the airshow.
Attendees will be asked to stick to their designated parking spot during the show, save for trips to the facilities. To keep a lid on people gathering in close quarters, the static display aircraft and food trucks will vanish this year. Still, the
