Heading to the fireworks Monday evening? Be sure to leave the drone at home.

That message comes from Windsor Police, who say that unauthorized drone operations are prohibited during the Ford Fireworks, for the safety of attendees, emergency responders, and aircraft operating in the area.

Police say that under Canadian Aviation Regulations, drones cannot be flown at advertised outdoor events without the appropriate Transport Canada authorization.

Drone operators will be subject to enforcement action and significant fines, and may be required by police to produce their drone, pilot credentials, and related documentation for inspection under the Canadian Aviation Regulations.
