Recent Drone Activity

The Town has recently received reports of a drone being flown at night near residential homes and bedroom windows. Residents should be aware that everyone has a right to privacy in and around their home.

 

If you experience a similar incident, please report it immediately to the RCMP and notify the Town Office. Any details you can provide, including the time, location, direction the drone travelled, photographs, or video footage, may assist in identifying the operator.

 

If you notice a drone being flown at night in the neighbourhood, or if you are aware of someone flying a drone in a manner that may invade the privacy of others, please contact the Town Office and/or the police.

 

Parents are also encouraged to speak with their children about respecting personal privacy and the appropriate use of drones. While some incidents may be the result of poor judgment rather than malicious intent, flying a drone near homes or windows—particularly at night—is not appropriate and may result in police involvement.

 

The Town will continue to monitor the situation and discuss whether additional local regulations may be necessary.
