Hey friends,
Just a quick intro. P3A operator in Toronto. cheers.
Do we need a UAV flying license in Canada? People in this thread seem to think so: Advanced - Flying in Canada
I was all ready to go down to Best Buy tomorrow to get a P3P until I saw that.

Welcome YYZ
I am from Bowmanville myself. I have been flying up around the Kawartha lakes myself and a bit around Bowmanville. Any significance to the YYZ besides the airport code?

Hi, I'm also new to the forum and quad community! Based in downtown Toronto.
I've searched this thread and the rest of the forum and I still can't get a clear answer as to where it would be best (and most legal) to fly my drone.
I have no interest in driving to 'sauga to fly at a club. Also, I've heard it mentioned here that the Scarborough Bluffs is a good spot, but isn't this a municipal park falling under city by-law restrictions?
Anyway, i'd love some feedback from any experienced flyers out there (in Toronto).. my interest is videography and photography, but I need to get flight time in so im comfortable shooting at travel locations.
Thanks in advance!

Welcome to the club. I also live in Midtown and most of my flying is within city limits.
At the moment, as a hobby operator, you can legally fly in most of the city. Use common sense when selecting a venue. I'm sure you're well aware of the hazards. Flying in the core is not pleasant, as your radio signal will be weak and compass issues common. during the evenings there are lots of private fixed wing aircraft circling downtown. You've got to listen for them at all times. They're usually higher than 500'....but not always.
Beaches, bluffs and school yards are good places to practice. Have fun!
Thanks for the quick reply and feedback!
For the beaches, bluffs, school yards etc. are there any in particular (or areas of) and times of day that you would recommend?
