Nine women from Blueberry River First Nation are now certified drone operators
Nine participants from Blueberry River First Nations are the first graduates of a woman specific Sky Keepers program.
Participants also took workshops on computer training, financial literacy, cultural connections and other essential skills over the span of 10 weeks.“There was a sense of engagement, a sense of family, a really tight community. We’ve had some of these women using the Zoom application to participate in class despite having prior family and community commitments. They’ve worked extremely hard to stay involved.
“Working with this Sky Keepers cohort was a fantastic experience,” said ATS founder and owner Darcy Hunt. Participants flew the DJI M30T drone, a model popular in the Search & Rescue industry that includes features such as Ground Penetrating Radar and 200x zoom capabilities.
