All,
I am sending you this attachment which is an advertisement for a UAV Ground
School that offers Transport Canada-approved certification to people who
want to operate drones for commercial use. This is a ground school that
teaches the requirements. It is not a course that teaches how to operate a
drone.
Since the course is being held at the university, M3Aerial is offering a
small discount to students who enrol. The instructions for registration
are contained in the ad. If you know of anyone who may be interested,
please feel free to forward the ad to others. It is not just for
university personnel.
If you have questions, let me know.
Thanks,
Paul

Subject: Graduate Student Summer Opportunity
Dear Dr. Daayf,
I’m writing to you in your role as Department Head to share a program being offered to graduate students and postdocs this coming May in Ottawa and Montréal.
The program is called “Science Outside the Lab,” and it’s a week-long immersion into the world of science policy and decision making. Through the program, students have a chance to meet experts ranging from science journalists & museum curators to federal funders & science advisors. They’ll also gain a richer understanding of how policy is made, how to communicate with funders and decision-makers, and how science shapes - and is shaped by - government decisions.
I’ve attached a brochure about the program, and all the information and applications are available online at SOtLnorth.ca<http://sotlnorth.ca/>. We’ll begin offering acceptances for the sessions after February 15th.
I’d be really grateful if you could circulate it with the graduate students and postdocs in your department, as well as other faculty members who might have interested students.
Thank you for your time,
Eric
