“We’re hopeful that a drone training program can take flight in Moose Jaw,” says Fraser Tolmie, City of Moose Jaw mayor. “We appreciate Saskatchewan Polytechnic’s commitment to expanding their range of learning opportunities at their Moose Jaw Campus, and appreciate the expertise and guidance to be provided by CAE.
