Much depends on the weight of your drone as in the US. Are you intending to fly sub 250 gram or over 250?

Good morning, Fun Flyer. The original poster is from NY, and I am in Comox on beautiful Vancouver Island. All the best to you in Sherwood Park in Alberta. Being semi retired does feel like I am on vacation!

It depends a lot on where you are flying as far as I am concerned. My wife and I did a driving trip of the entire route from Calgary to Banff, and Jasper and the entire route was through national parks, which is, of course, forbidden. I did do the paperwork on the Canada Parks website and drone permits were non-existant for the parks. There are some very heavy fines involved endnote worth getting caught. I did manage to fly for a few moments here and there, but it was straight up, grab a shot, then straight down and pack the drone as fast as I could. I think I managed to fly less than 5 minutes total for the entire rip.

If you can't fly in the cities or in the national parks, which seem vast, a huge portion of the country, are there enough places worth flying?
