"Halifax Water Watershed Lands Closed  
Effective immediately, all Halifax Water watershed lands are closed to members of the public. This closure will be in place until further notice. 
Halifax Water is taking steps to protect our water supplies and to comply with the provincial ban on all woodland activity. This is in an effort to reduce the potential for more wildfires in Nova Scotia.  
These restrictions apply to Halifax Water property near watersheds and provincially or federally owned lands within protected water areas that Halifax Water manages.  
This is consistent with the approach being taken by municipal and provincial authorities to reduce the risk of further forest fires in wooded areas. 
To know where our watersheds are, please visit http://hwc.maps.arcgis.com/apps/instant/media/index.html "

I want both of those! And the DJI FPV one just for fun. My Spark has subject follow but the sensors on it are only in front and below so I don't trust it. I don't trust it in any kind of wind, so I just get some really basic, safe shots. I basically use it like I'd use the better-suited Flip.

HRM Councillors have been sharing this on facebook, but since I havenโ€™t seen it here yet: all consumer fireworks are banned under the provincial burn ban. If your Natal Day weekend revolved around shooting off fireworks, make another plan. Nova Scotia is DRY!
