Niels Jensen is now a Transport Canada-certified drone operator. Here's a photo of the Eastmain River in Eeyou Istchee (northern Quebec) that he shot  in the autumn of 2017 for COTA (Cree Outfitting and Tourism Association).

 This is the Yuneec Typhoon H drone that he uses.

If you're interested in the North, you might want to attend a panel discussion that is part of the Blue Metropolis International Literary Festival in Montreal on Saturday, April 28, 2018. The details are below.
