The event drew in thousands of people from around the area, along with fire chiefs and local politicians, many of whom stopped to take pictures with the massive drone. \u201cWe couldn\u2019t be happier with how this event turned out\u201d, said Aero Future Canada founder Judy Xie.<\/p><p>Aero Future Canada attended the event at the invitation of Altohelix Inc., an industry leader in the fields of drone technology and flight training that is assisting Aero Future Canada in licensing the firefighting device for use in Canada. \u201cAltohelix was proud to host Aero Future Canada and to support their path to Canadian licensing and real operations\u201d, remarked Altohelix CEO Russell Byun. \u201cSaturday was about giving the public, firefighters, and local leaders a first close look at how large unmanned aircraft can strengthen frontline firefighting. Our goal is clear: reduce risk to crews, shorten response times, and put a dependable aerial firefighting tool into service for communities across Canada.\u201d Altohelix\u2019s presentation included a Boston Dynamics Spot robot, an inspection and data capture device often used in search-and-rescue operations.<\/p><p>Also in attendance at the Altohelix display were two of the principals of GTA Strategies, a Toronto-based business and government relations firm that provides logistical support to Aero Future Canada. \u201cWe have been working with Judy for more than two years to bring this technology to Canada, and finally being able to reach out and touch them means a lot to our team\u201d, commented GTA Strategies project lead Jeremy Beamer. \u201cWe have a long way to go before this technology is in operation, but seeing the public response to this project shows us that we\u2019re on the right track.\u201d<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-a9b9138 e-flex e-con-boxed parallax_section_no qode_elementor_container_no e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"a9b9138\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-80c7928 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"80c7928\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"640\" height=\"504\" src=\"https:\/\/gtastrategies.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/image-1.jpeg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-2886\" alt=\"Aero Future Canada\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gtastrategies.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/image-1.jpeg 640w, https:\/\/gtastrategies.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/image-1-300x236.jpeg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-dccc01c elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"dccc01c\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" width=\"640\" height=\"480\" src=\"https:\/\/gtastrategies.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/image-2.jpeg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-2887\" alt=\"Aero Future Canada\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gtastrategies.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/image-2.jpeg 640w, https:\/\/gtastrategies.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/image-2-300x225.jpeg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>AURORA \u2013 This past Saturday, import and logistics company Aero Future Canada attended the Central York Fire Services Open House to introduce an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) designed to fight wildfires, a first in Canada.
