Asked why there were no flypasts in Manitoba or Saskatchewan, RCAF spokesman David Lavallee responded that, “Generally speaking, flypasts are done based on requests from event organizers, to the extent that operational requirements, aircraft availability and flying conditions allow. This year, we did not receive any requests to do Remembrance Day flypasts in Manitoba or Saskatchewan.” PEI also did not request a flypast.
