We regret to announce the cancellation of the Borden Canadian Armed Forces Day and Air Show to take place at CFB Borden on 13-14 June 2020.
This decision is due to the evolving COVID-19 public health situation and is a preventive measure to reduce the risk of potential transmission within our community. Please know that the health and safety of our local community, air show participants and service providers is our highest priority. This decision was not taken lightly and is in line with federal and provincial guidelines designed to combat the spread of COVID-19.
Ticket purchasers have been contacted directly.
Whether you live nearby, or come from afar, are a member of the public or a member of the Borden defence team, our doors are open to you 13-14 June 2020
2020 marks the 75th anniversary of the end of the Second World War as well as the 75th anniversaries of Victory in Europe Day, the liberation of the Netherlands, and Victory over Japan Day.
CFB Borden pays homage to these milestones in our history alongside our community as we Celebrate, Educate, and Inspire Canadians through the Canadian Armed Forces Day and Airshow. Performers include some of the best pilots and parachutists in the Canadian Armed Forces, including the Canadian Forces Snowbirds, CF-18 Demonstration Team, and Canada’s military parachute demonstration team, The SkyHawks. Many more performers have been confirmed with more to follow in the near future.
We know you’ll have a great weekend and look forwarding to seeing you here!

We’re committed to making our airshow a carbon neutral event.
We are passionate and dedicated in ensuring that the environmental impact of the event is kept to a minimum. Here are some initiatives we’ve put in place to help minimize our carbon footprint:
Tree Planting
Hundreds of native trees will be planted throughout the Base to offset the emissions generated during the weekend including aircraft, service providers, event support staff, and attendees traveling to the event. If you would like to know more about what the Government of Canada is doing to decrease emissions click here.
Add a tree planting donation to your ticket order to help Borden fight climate change! Look for the “donate” button when purchasing your tickets.
Water Refill Stations
Hydrate like a Canadian Armed Force member.
BYOB.. bottle that is! Water refill stations will be available for your use throughout the events ground to help minimize plastic waste from water bottles. Look for the Water Buffalo stations as pictured here.
Save money, stay hydrated and help us prevent plastic pollution.
