The City of Delta, located in British Columbia, has decided that the Boundary Bay Airshow will not return in 2026, marking the end of a nearly two-decade-long summer tradition. The airshow, which has been an annual event since its inception, has attracted families and aviation enthusiasts every July, showcasing aerial demonstrations from military and civilian aircraft.

Despite last year's indication from the city that it was exploring financial avenues to keep the airshow operational, Delta has not provided an official reason for the cancellation. This has raised questions among community members, as the event was free to attend and greatly valued as a community gathering point.

The city expressed hopes to collaborate with Alpha Aviation, which leases the airport where the airshow takes place, for potential future events. This cancellation not only affects community engagement but may also impact local businesses that benefited from the influx of visitors during the airshow weekend.
