Trying to start a series on legal places to fly in Ontario.

Please take a look and tell me what you think!

This blog/resource you put together is pretty well done and also does other drone pilots a pretty good service.  Keep it up, as there doesn't seem to be enough sources for guidance and input out there, regarding drone flying.  Even on these forums here, people will tend to give you 'knee jerk, fear driven and sometimes discouraging input', though that is not the case all the time.

Awesome write-up! I just got a Mavic Mini - should make things much easier in Toronto for flying under 250g.

Reading through by-laws & 608, I don't believe that model aircraft = drone / UAV. Transport Canada doesn't define it as such, and it's not referenced or defined in any laws I can find (Google) that model aircraft refer to drones.

This is a copy and paste from Transport Canada taken from another post:

“The 250 g weight threshold was selected to mitigate the risk that a drone would pose to an aircraft and people on the ground, and is a consistent approach taken in several other countries, including the US. Pilots of micro drones weighing under 250 grams are not required to register their drone or obtain a drone pilot certificate (as it is not applicable under Subpart 1 of Part IX), but must fly in a way that does not endanger the safety of people or other aircraft.  The Canadian Aviation Regulation (CAR) 900.06 states “No person shall operate a remotely piloted aircraft system in such a reckless or negligent manner as to endanger or be likely to endanger aviation safety or the safety of any person.”  This regulation is applicable to all RPAS regardless of its weight. All RPAS/drone pilots (this includes drones under 250 grams) are subject to the Criminal Code as well as all provincial, territorial, and municipal laws governing areas such as privacy and trespassing. It is best to refer to the Designated Airspace Handbook (published by Nav Canada) as micro drone (less than 250 grams) cannot fly in a Class F or a 5.1 restricted airspace or in airspace that prohibits aircraft or is restricted under CAR 601.16 and 601.17 (examples of these are: Federal Parks, Niagara Falls, Parliament Hill, over prisons, forest fire areas, etc.). If the airspace prohibits “aircraft” than it prohibits sub 250 gram RPAS’s too. "
