CREATED TO EMPOWER INDIGENOUS RPAS BUSINESSES

We are developing the full potential of Remotely Piloted Aircraft Systems (“RPAS”) throughout Canadian First Nations communities by providing training, equipment, data sovereignty, and all related services and skills.

We are dedicated to building a robust RPAS industry that is owned by the people it serves. In remote communities that are often isolated when ice roads melt, this is a critical mission. It’s also vital that we engage and develop our youth.

 

KEY-TO-KNOW-FACTS

1.67 million people in Canada (4.9%) self-identified as an Indigenous person in Canada’s 2016 Census of Population. Indigenous peoples are the fastest-growing population in Canada, with a population that grew by 42.5% between 2006 and 2016. Indigenous peoples are also the youngest population in Canada: about 44% were under 25 in 2016, compared to 28% of the non-Indigenous population. The remote nature and young population provide a unique opportunity to build UAV skills, businesses and employment.
