DRONE DELIVERY CANADA DRONECARE PROJECT COMMERCIALLY OPERATIONAL

Further to its press releases dated Oct. 12, 2023, and Jan. 9, 2024, Drone Delivery Canada Corp.'s DroneCare project with Halton Healthcare Services Corp. is commercially operational effective Jan. 9, 2024.

The DroneCare project will deploy DDC's patented drone delivery solution to establish a new two-way transportation link between two of Halton Healthcare's hospitals, Milton District Hospital and Oakville Trafalgar Memorial Hospital. This bidirectional route will facilitate the exchange of a variety of critical medical supplies between the two hospitals including but not limited to laboratory blood, urine and tissue specimens requiring testing. Additionally, the Canary remotely piloted aircraft (RPA) will be used for this project making it the first commercial route for the Canary RPA.

To further optimize efficiency, the company will make use of the existing heliport at Milton District Hospital, by reconfiguring DDC's Dronespot technology and infrastructure to work with the heliport. This is a testament to the company's commitment to using existing resources wherever possible to improve health care logistics. All operations will be conducted in accordance with applicable Canadian regulations and/or Transport Canada special approvals with flights remotely piloted by DDC from its operations control centre located in Vaughan, Ont.

"This next phase of RPA systems use in the health care segment will build on the success of the several projects DDC has completed within the health care industry and demonstrate the health care industry's ability to leverage drone technology for the benefit of patients and medical professionals alike. By reducing transportation times and enhancing the security of medical samples, DDC is taking a crucial step toward more efficient and reliable health care services," said Steve Magirias, chief executive officer of Drone Delivery Canada.

"The DDC team has worked diligently to get this project operational in conjunction with the recently announced beyond visual line of sight (BVLOS) approval from Transport Canada for this route. We continue to make inroads in the health care segment and demonstrate the benefits of RPA systems and their ability to benefit the health care market over all with positive outcomes for patient care. This also marks the first time in the company's history where we will start to service a contract with BVLOS approval," said Mr. Magirias.

The collaborative effort between Halton Healthcare and DDC has been pivotal in ensuring the steady and successful progression of this initiative. This will pave a bright future for adoption of this technology in all areas of health care.
