An Indigenous community in northeastern Ontario is turning to drones to help lower costs and create jobs. Moose Cree is located 2.5 kilometres from Moosonee, Ont., but is situated on an island with no easy link to the shore. The community says it will start experimenting with using drones to transport key supplies. It says the pilot project, which is expected to get underway next month, could not only reduce prices for food and other key supplies but create jobs in the area. Neither he nor Drone Delivery Canada would speculate on how much money the program could save, but Kapashesit said the benefits could extend into the future.
