A Winnipeg man has received a hefty fine for flying a drone in Riding Mountain National Park (RMNP).
Park Wardens were notified about a drone at a day-use area. A Search Warrant was executed to examine the drone's data. The result revealed the drone had been flown within RMNP on three separate occasions, where it was used to harass wildlife.
An investigation led to a fine of $1,680 under the Canada National Parks Act for the Winnipeg man.
Operating a drone within RMNP without prior authorization is prohibited.
