The future of drones in Canada, according to surveys

Ottawa, we have a problem

Given a rising trend of “drone incidents” since 2014, Transport Canada commissioned a poll on drone use (cost: $61,167.78). It found that 13 per cent of Canadians use drones either for fun or work. Fifty-one per cent admitted to not knowing Transport Canada’s drone rules. Yes, those exist.

Future flights

The government also decided it was worthwhile to ask the general public about the future uses of drones. It found a level of comfort with drones being used for things like search and rescue operations, and monitoring and protecting wildlife.
