A remote northern Ontario community got its first look at drone delivery technology earlier this month. Toronto-based company Drone Delivery Canada travelled to the James Bay Coast recently to run tests, for a partnership with Moose Cree First Nation. The goal of the partnership is to establish a drone delivery service that would bring food, medical supplies and other necessities to the island of Moose Factory. Drone Delivery Canada CEO Tony Di Benedetto says the technology can help remote northern communites that lack infrastructure. Drone Delivery Canada plans to run further tests in Moosonee and is working with regulators, including Transport Canada, to get the delivery service up and running.
