The Canada Remembers Air Show was created in 1995 as a part of the Canadian Government's National "Canada Remembers Program", as a salute to the 50th Anniversary of the end of WWII. It is Canada's only annual attraction dedicated to the Remembrance of Canadian Veterans (as depicted in the name, "Canada Remembers"), while also paying tribute to Allied Veterans.
It is heralded as Canada's largest annual Salute to Veterans and has been instrumental in raising the awareness of Remembrance. In it's ten years of existence, the Air Show has educated and entertained well over 300,000 people. Saskatoon also hosts Canada's largest "indoor" Nov. 11th Ceremony, drawing 7 - 8,000 spectators and participants each year.
This non-profit community project has generated a to-date economic impact in excess of $20 Million dollars and has helped raise over $400,000.00 for dozens of charities and community groups.
The Air Show has been recognized by the following:
* The country's only Air Show to receive an Attractions Canada Award.
* Awarded Saskatchewan's #1 Outdoor Attraction.
* Recipient of the Aviation Council's "Industry Service Award".
Not only has the Air Show been recognized throughout Canada, it has been the focus of numerous international publications.
