Drone owner and amateur photographer Danny McEachren, who was fined $500 for illegally flying his drone in Banff National Park. (Danny McEachren)Two complaintsApparently, two skaters had called in complaints to the Parks service that someone was flying a drone in a national park, which is illegal without written permission. The fine for illegally flying a drone is up to $25,000. Rules available onlineWhile McEachren says he was unaware that he was forbidden from flying his drone, park warden Steve Anderson says the rules are clear, and unambiguous. In other words, don't come around southern Alberta illegally flying a drone wearing a Connor McDavid jersey, because you will be caught.
