2018 flying drones over Niagara Falls
What's the word on flying drones over Niagara Falls
Niagara Falls I was wondering what are the rules if any on flying the drone around the water falls. I'm currently on the Canada side but returning tomorrow to the US side.

The Age of the Drone
Drones have launched into recreational and commercial popularity over the last few years, but they’ve also flown into some legal grey areas with regards to safety and privacy. In Canada, safety guidelines for drones were updated in October 2014 for both hobbyists and businesses. Here’s a look at some recent drones stories in the news and how Canadian regulations are currently addressing these kinds of issues today.

Drone crackdown: New rules for flying near people, buildings
Drone crackdown: New rules for flying near people, buildings | CTV News
Federal Minister of Transport Marc Garneau is imposing new restrictions on all recreational drone users in Canada, severely limiting the use of unmanned aerial vehicles near people, animals, buildings and airports.
Garneau says the new measures are meant to curb the number of near-misses between drones and commercial aircraft, which have more than tripled from 2014 to 2016.
Under the new restrictions, which are effective immediately, recreational drone pilots are prohibited from flying their UAVs higher than 90 metres, within 75 metres of buildings, animals or people, or within nine kilometres of an airport. Night flights are also prohibited under the new restriction, which promises a fine of up to $3,000.

Drones - Important information for Canadians
If you live in Canada and are thinking about buying a Phantom, pay
attention. I recently bought two Phantoms and here is what I learned
(the hard way) . . .
Lesson #1 - You can save $300 or more if you buy directly from DJI.
If you have a relationship with an authorized Canadian dealer in the city where you live, you can decide for yourself if you want to pay hundreds of dollars extra for that convenience. But if you are buying on the internet anyway, you can save a lot of money -- enough for a free backpack and extra battery -- by dealing directly with DJI.
The reason for the difference is taxes and exchange rates. I will use the Phantom 3 Pro as an example . . .
ThePhantom 3 Pro at DJI cost $1259 USD, with all taxes and duty included. At today's exchange rate, that's $1,554 Canadian. The same model retails in Canada for $1,637, PLUS TAXES. So if you live in Alberta, where taxes are only 5%, the total price would be $1,719 and you would save $165 if you buy direct from DJI. But if you live in Nova Scotia, where taxes are 15%, the total price would be $1,883 and you would save $329 if you buy direct from DJI. I live in BC and saved about $300 on my DJI order. That was almost enough for a free backpack and a spare battery.
Lesson #2 - If you use PayPal, converting currency through PayPal instead of your credit card can save you $75 or more.
If you order with PayPal, you have a choice of converting currency with PayPal or converting with the credit card company. There are advantages to converting with PayPal, because if you cancel the order the full amount is refunded to your linked credit card. However, if you choose to let the credit card company convert, and then need to cancel or return, you will get dinged twice for the conversion. Basically, they charge 3% commission each way. So, with the credit card conversion spread, a $100 transaction will cost you $103, but if you ask for a refund or cancellation, you only get $97 back. That 6% on USD $1259 adds up to USD $75.00! You can avoid this double transaction cost by using PayPal and choosing to pay in Canadian dollars. I learned this the hard way when I cancelled my UV Filter . . . see this thread for why: http://forum.dji.com/thread-18021-1-1.html
UPDATE . . . September 1, 2015 . . .
As
stated in my original post, it is not my intention to discourage anyone
from purchasing from a local dealer, if you are lucky enough to have
access to one. But
if you are buying online anyway, the savings from DJI can be
substantial, because the taxes and duties are included in the
price. This is confirmed by DJI at https://store.dji.com/help/shipping/faq (see the answer to question #5).

UPDATE . . . September 1, 2015 . . .
Since this post the Canadian dollar has nose-dived and DJI has introduced new products. Depending on the product and province of residence, Canadians can now save up to $439 by purchasing directly from DJI. Here are some examples . . .
These calculations assume a 12% tax rate in BC. In
Alberta and the Territories your tax rate is lower, but in many other
provinces the tax rate is higher than BC and your savings will be more
substantial (e.g. save up to $439 in Nova Scotia and Quebec).
