North Effect Aerial
Purpose in every flight.

Mission statement
Serve and strengthen Canadian communities.
Our mission is to deliver safe, practical aerial services, training and partnerships that create lasting local value. We aim to help expand Canada’s drone industry while making its tools and opportunities more useful and accessible to the communities we serve.
Our ethos
Build Canadian capability
We want to expand participation in Canada’s drone industry through useful services, shared knowledge and skills development.
Capacity over dependency
Training, community mapping and emergency-management readiness should leave communities with stronger local knowledge and capability.
Reconciliation in practice
We seek respectful, long-term relationships with First Nations, Inuit and Métis communities. We give specific attention to Call to Action 92—Business and Reconciliation—of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission of Canada. Its direction on meaningful consultation, respectful relationships, equitable access to jobs, training and education, sustainable community benefit and ongoing learning informs how we approach partnerships and community-led capacity building.
