TORONTO — Drone Delivery Canada Corp. announces that Transport Canada has accepted the Company’s declaration for its Canary remote piloted aircraft to now be operated over people. The Canary RPA is designed to deliver a variety of shipments, including medical supplies, to both urban as well as remote and hard-to-reach areas.
Drone Delivery Canada says that the Canary RPA features enhanced design, performance, and technology, including a payload of up to 4.5kg, a range of greater than 20km, real-time communication and tracking systems, and an integrated scale on the RPA itself.
The company also says that the Canary RPA boasts several benefits, including faster and safer delivery of essential goods, reduced delivery costs, and enhanced accessibility to both remote and urban areas. The Canary advances the Company’s technology and capabilities while improving the operational parameters for Drone Delivery Canada’s customers and significantly improving operational efficiencies for the Company. With the integrated scale designed onto the RPA, the Company says they will be able to reduce ground infrastructure costs, speed up deployments and provide a more robust solution to the end customer.
The declaration to Transport Canada allows DDC’s Canary RPA to operate in compliance with the regulatory framework, demonstrating its advanced safety features and meeting stringent requirements to permit flights over people.
“We are extremely proud that Transport Canada has accepted the Company’s declaration for the Canary drone’s flight over people,” said Steve Magirias, CEO of Drone Delivery Canada. “This recognition is a testament to our relentless dedication to safety and innovation.

From medical supply deliveries to e-commerce fulfillment and humanitarian aid missions, the Canary drone’s validated status ensures safe and reliable operations, even in densely populated environments. The extensive testing process included multiple flight tests, environmental trials, and operational simulations. The tests confirmed the reliability, safety, and efficiency of the Canary RPA and demonstrated its ability to operate in various weather conditions and terrains.
