I wouldn’t use the NS Coastal Hazard Map - it generalized SLR & storm surge scenario to single # s for the entire NS coastline. The documentation is absent on why this was done! @ns_environment @EcologyAction @CBCNS – at Halifax, Nova Scotia

This is a proactive warning in support of the @hfxgov fire emergency response. Remember you cannot operate an aircraft or a drone within 9.3 km of wildfires. It is illegal, you could be impeding firefighting operations, and you could be subject to penalties.
In this crazy time we're all living through, I would like to remind folks to keep your drones well away (9.3km) from the #tantallonfire. Let the response teams do their jobs.

Planning a drone flight soon? Remember to follow the #DroneSafety rules: register your drone, get your pilot certificate and, if needed, request permission to fly in @navcanada controlled airspace.

The fact that Ewan McGregor’s brother, Colin McGregor is a pilot in the Royal Air Force and his aviator nickname is “Obi-Two” is my new favorite bit of knowledge.

Glad to be able to play a small part in the wealth of training @HalifaxSAR does. Drone's are yet another tool in the toolbox.
Tonight was a major achievement! Four of our members were certified as Transport Canada Advanced Certified drone pilots. Thanks to @ConradBros for allowing our members to train at your site- we look forward to sharing more good news with you soon! Huge thanks to @Flytbox!! #GSAR

FOME members @KBoerder @AmyIrvinee working hard teaching library-goers about the importance of eelgrass and our restoration efforts in Nova Scotia! Check out the “Prairies under the Sea” exhibit at the Halifax Central Library today before it gets taken down 🌊🦀🌱

As the #bluecarbon research team patiently waits for #eelgrass seeds to mature for our replanting project, they’ve been snorkelling, creating and now testing a homemade sediment corer, and hired the amazing @flytbox to fly a drone for aerial imagery! Way to go team!

Yesterday, the Canadian Drone Advisory Committee (CanaDAC) met virtually to discuss key priority areas such as the social acceptance of #drones, preparing for advanced air mobility, and #ResearchAndDevelopment activities. ow.ly/fOU630shVM7 #InnovationTC

It's hard to pause things with so many cool projects going on, but I kinda need this right now. I'll still be on Twitter, and I'm getting a bunch of help, but the rockets will be on hold in the meantime. youtu.be/KYxOVKba0w0
#AskNASA I remember @astro_luca's leaky suit, and @Cmdr_Hadfield's antifog problem - what other major issues have cropped up over the 200+ ISS EVAs?

LIVE NOW: #Spacewalk coverage on NASA TV. @Astro_Sabot and @Astro_Maker are performing maintenance on @Space_Station's robotic arm, Canadarm2. Watch: nasa.gov/nasalive
Using foot restrains in space, in zero gravity, in a bulky suit, has to be hard. So humbling to watch @Astro_Maker and @Astro_Sabot on their EVA. #ISSExpedition54 @nasa
