Taylor will also join the board of directors and will be the chair of the Audit Committee. Taylor has previously worked in consulting, financial services, and technology roles with some of the latest companies.

Michael Zahra, president & CEO of DDC, said:
We are very pleased to make such strong additions to our board and management teams as the business matures and evolves. Debbie, Larry, Nico, and Steve bring a considerable amount of experience that will benefit the Company as we continue to focus on commercial growth in Canada and internationally and add technological enhancements to our solution with the Robin XL and Condor. We thank Rob for his contributions to the board of directors and look forward to continuing to work with him in his new role on the Advisory Board.
Drone Delivery Canada’s first US patent, which was granted in July 2019, focuses on the company’s “Flyte” management software and its drone delivery technology and processes.
DDC currently offers depot-to-depot deliveries for companies that are looking to transport goods from one warehouse to another or to other company’s locations without the need for ground deliveries. DDC also provides companies with depot-to-consumer drone delivery, providing deliveries for food, retail goods, service parts, and emergency roadside assistance.
In November 2017, DDC partnered with Moose Cree First Nation to bring drone deliveries to the rural community, allowing those living there to have their goods, such as mail, food, and medical supplies, delivered by drone. Moose Cree is located 20 km south of James Bay, Ontario, on an island in the middle of the Moose River, making drones a great delivery method.
