NetNewsLedger DJ Mini Mavic - Microdrone Thunder Bay – TECH – Flying drones in Canada means following Transport Canada’s rules. The federal government enacted new rules on drone flying a few years ago. “Transport Canada’s rules for drones offer flexibility for drone pilots with various categories and requirements depending on the type of flights, the size of the drone, and the environment a drone pilot is operating in,” states Transport Canada. Over the holiday season, drones proved to be a popular gift. However keeping inside the rules is important, and often many people don’t think of those rules when they get their drone.
