## Resource

A drone crashed into spectators at the Ponoka Stampede, injuring two adults—prompting an immediate shutdown of all drone flights. While the operator, contracted for the event, will report to Transport Canada, the cause remains unknown—possibly mechanical, weather-related, or even bird interference. Experts warn drone safety at large events is critical, with Calgary Stampede enforcing strict rules including pre-approval and flight zone restrictions. Transport Canada stresses certified pilots and approved equipment, while unauthorized drone use can lead to fines or jail time. Authorities urge the public to report suspicious drones at events.
