Heralded as Canada’s largest annual Tribute to Veterans Project, the Cameco Canada Remembers Int. Air Show ‘re-launches’ under the title, Cameco Canada Remembers ‘Festival for Heroes’ !!

After 14 years of honouring Veterans and saluting the men and women within the Canadian Forces, this internationally acclaimed Tribute was halted in 2009 upon losing access to the Saskatoon John G. Diefenbaker Airport show site, due to planned development of the Airport property.

The re-launched Cameco CANADA REMEMBERS ‘Festival for Heroes’ will maintain the Tribute to Veterans theme and salute all who currently serve this nation. In addition, (created in 2002 - post 9/11), the Tribute will continue to pay special recognition to Law Enforcement, Fire, EMS and all First Responders who bravely serve their communities and country, often called upon to risk their lives … and far too often sacrifice their lives, in the Line of Duty.
