@hfxtraffic Still not moving...

@NovaMarkButler I wouldn’t use the NS Coastal Hazard Map - it generalized SLR & storm surge scenario to single # s for the entire NS coastline. The documentation is absent on why this was done! @ns_environment @EcologyAction @CBCNS

ATTN #Halifax #Drone Pilots - for folks who haven't noticed it yet, there are two temporary RPAS airspace closures to support Halifax International Fleet Week and Exercise Cutlass Fury 2023. These closures are to all RPAS, including micro drones. The restrictions end on the 27th.

@petmis That is more than my mortgage by about $400.

@HfxLearn2Drive The comment was not meant disparagingly, incorrect or incomplete information can be dangerous - There are a few tools around with state-source information that are worth using for screenshots like this, namely Nav Drone or the NRC Drone Site Selection tool.

@HfxRegPolice What's are preferred methods for reporting? (For both active and otherwise)

[Halifax_Police @HfxRegPolice]

This is a proactive warning in support of the @hfxgov fire emergency response. Remember you cannot operate an aircraft or a drone within 9.3 km of wildfires. It is illegal, you could be impeding firefighting operations, and you could be subject to penalties.

[Max @Flytbox]

In this crazy time we're all living through, I would like to remind folks to keep your drones well away (9.3km) from the #tantallonfire. Let the response teams do their jobs.

@JamesGIS Right? We'll get there someday.

Planning a drone flight soon? Remember to follow the #DroneSafety rules: register your drone, get your pilot certificate and, if needed, request permission to fly in @navcanada controlled airspace.

The fact that Ewan McGregor’s brother, Colin McGregor is a pilot in the Royal Air Force and his aviator nickname is “Obi-Two” is my new favorite bit of knowledge.

Glad to be able to play a small part in the wealth of training @HalifaxSAR does. Drone's are yet another tool in the toolbox.

[Halifax SAR @HalifaxSAR]

Tonight was a major achievement! Four of our members were certified as Transport Canada Advanced Certified drone pilots. Thanks to @ConradBros for allowing our members to train at your site- we look forward to sharing more good news with you soon! Huge thanks to @Flytbox!! #GSAR

FOME members @KBoerder @AmyIrvinee working hard teaching library-goers about the importance of eelgrass and our restoration efforts in Nova Scotia! Check out the “Prairies under the Sea” exhibit at the Halifax Central Library today before it gets taken down 🌊🦀🌱

[Future of Marine Ecosystems Lab @FOME_lab]

As the #bluecarbon research team patiently waits for #eelgrass seeds to mature for our replanting project, they’ve been snorkelling, creating and now testing a homemade sediment corer, and hired the amazing @flytbox to fly a drone for aerial imagery! Way to go team!

[Transport Canada @Transport_gc]

Yesterday, the Canadian Drone Advisory Committee (CanaDAC) met virtually to discuss key priority areas such as the social acceptance of #drones, preparing for advanced air mobility, and #ResearchAndDevelopment activities. https://t.co/kj7u9Z8PJ7 #InnovationTC

@feelgoodsj Do you hand delivery to NS? I don't have enough time to snowshoe to today. ;-)

@SueBrunningBM Maybe they used it to help 'negotiate' with traders - a bartering ram?
