In 2007 the founding board members of the Run for Water Society conceptualized a unique event to be hosted in Abbotsford, British Columbia. The vision was to stage a top tier internationally recognized running event that would attract a wide range of participants and athletes and, at the same time, raise awareness – and funds – for people in the developing world who lack one of life’s basic necessities – clean water. Since 2008, this volunteer board has staged an annual road race and now additionally organizes trail runs and gravel grind events.

Funds raised – over $4,000,000 to date – go towards helping building clean water projects in some of the most remote and marginalized areas of Ethiopia.

Three-day aviation festival August 9, 10 & 11 including a Friday Twilight Show (afternoon/evening) followed by two Daytime Shows on Saturday & Sunday. The 2024 event will be headlined by the following military performers: Canadian Forces Snowbirds, RCAF CF-18 Hornet Demo Team, & US Air Force F-22 Raptor Demo Team. Civilian performers include Scratch Mitchell (T-33 Silver Star), Melissa Burns (Edge 540), Kyle Fowler (LongEZ), Bob Carlton (Twin-Jet Foxtail Sailplane), historic warbirds, and additional military performers. The Friday night twilight show will include twilight and “after-dark” aerial performances, including pyrotechnics and an LED drone show.

In addition to aerial performances, the Airshow features 14-acres of ground entertainment and attractions including our premium seating venues, food trucks, static aircraft displays, and family activities. The ground attractions will once again feature the interactive Aviation-S.T.E.M.

The Airshow will also help mark the 100th anniversary of the Royal Canadian Air Force with a variety of RCAF displays in the air and on the ground.
