TORONTO, Jan. 20, 2021 /CNW/ - Drone Delivery Canada Corp.
(TSXV: FLT) (OTC: TAKOF) (Frankfurt: A2AMGZ or
ABB.F) (the "Company" or "DDC") is pleased to provide an update on
its healthcare related activities.
On January 20th, 2021 the Company
presented at the Canadian Institute of Traffic and Transportation
(CITT) webinar panel titled "Logistics of a COVID-19 Vaccine
for Canada", alongside esteemed government and logistics
industry panelists. DDC was the only drone delivery company
on the panel and presented the benefits of drone delivery for
pandemic response to remote First Nations communities, especially
as related to vaccines.
The Company is in discussions with various Federal and
Provincial Government agencies and Canadian logistics providers and
is hopeful to commercially participate with its advanced, patented
drone delivery as the vaccine distribution plans start to roll out
across Canada, and potentially
internationally.
The company's Beausoleil First
Nation and Georgina Island First
Nation pandemic-related projects were previously announced
June 4th, 2020 and
July 30th, 2020,
respectively. They continue to be fully operational as
expected with multiple flights daily. The proven Sparrow
drone used in both projects is capable of delivering medical
supplies, PPE, test kits and vaccines.
The Company has previously successfully demonstrated the ability
to transport temperature-controlled medical supplies (University of Saskatchewan project in 2020) and
blood tests (Moose Cree First Nation pilot project in 2018) and is
confident in its ability to effectively repeat this going
forward.
"The healthcare industry is a market where we see significant
potential future opportunity because it is a perfect fit for what
our system does best – access to remote locations, time-critical
deliveries, and limiting person-to-person contact.
Since our cargo goes inside the drone, and we use a patented
depot-to-depot DroneSpotTM network configuration, this
results in a safe and secure solution, addressing unique needs for
high-value and high-risk cargo, as is typical in healthcare,
especially for vaccines," said Michael
Zahra, President & CEO of DDC.
