I would bet most locals don't know there's one of them spacecraft operations in the city.
Bet most locals didn't know there's a very successful drone manufacturing plant here as well. Won business awards, not many know who they are:
Draganfly.com Industrial Aerial Video Systems & UAVs

Interesting work they've done!

Lockheed Martin set to build on 1st Nations land outside the city.

For any aerial-related fans out there. And potential Spacecraft Operators.
Cheers

These are DRONES... and you are handing out Kudos? Really?

I'm Canadian and I am ashamed...not excited, interested or even proud.

Peace

Oh I wasn't giving anyone kudos - just presenting the picture for the reader to piece together - I thought it was rather obvious, this being the site it is...

Reading the title I expected the height criteria for this position to be 1 foot tall!
