The Snowbirds are still grounded.
According to an official statement this time, the repatriation ceremony for Captain Casey begins at 5pm Halifax time on Sunday. It will be live

Investigators are looking at a bird strike, as well as the performance of the ejection seats. Video of the accident showed a bird in close proximity
of the aircraft as they climbed.
A single small bird was ingested into the engine causing a compressor stall. The pilot began a turn back to the airport, and the aircraft entered an
aerodynamic stall.
