I just texted my buddy to get the definitive answer on where he took it..

"I dunno, I stole it from Twitter".

I also checked that guys page on Twitter and couldn't figure out where it came from. The great photo mystery.

It came from the official instagram and twitter account for True North Square.

Someone fly a drone over the site while you still can before the government makes it impossible to fly some friendly drones around.

If a drone flying over the True North site will bring down a passenger jet, that Jet has way bigger problems!

Drones will be banned soon enough. There is talk about it already.

They're not specifically banned right now, but with these new regulations, there's almost no point in owning one in a city.

Unfortunately, that's not going to happen.

The new regulations took effect the moment it was announced a couple weeks ago. No drone shall fly within a 9 km radius from any airport or aerodrome, nor shall it be flown within 75 m of a building.

Work is really chugging along now! Does anyone know how many people are working on the site?

The idea is to work on them simultaneously, but the office building has deadlines to meet the lease obligations of their new major tenants. The apartment faces no such legal urgency, so it will naturally be less of a priority, in terms of timeline.

Hordes.

You're welcome!

The Jabroni · #**2514** Posted **Apr 6, 2017, 5:00 PM**

I won't be surprised if it goes up by 3 floors at the end of the month. They're really chugging along with the tower now.

rkspec · #**2515** Posted **Apr 6, 2017, 5:11 PM**

Maybe mount it up on the Delta or on the CTV building?

Biff · #**2517** Posted **Apr 6, 2017, 5:32 PM**

I would think the corner of the Hydro Tower would offer the most consistent unobstructed view.

Yeah thats what I was sort of jokingly referring to. Stupid rules. I get all the reasons but deal with the idiots. The idea that I cant fly a drone over my neighborhood for some video is silly. I guess i can hire a licensed company to do it though. Ohhhhh now I get it.... pffft

Sorry, off topic.

The Unknown Poster · #**2519** Posted **Apr 6, 2017, 6:16 PM**

I did hear something about AAA Alarms needing some training for camera work required by PCL. No idea if its related but thought I'd throw it out there. They are being trained on aerial descent...

DirtWednesday · #**2520** Posted **Apr 7, 2017, 12:46 PM**

Ooooh... Starting the core of tower 2 above grade today!
