TORONTO, Oct. 18, 2021 /CNW/ - Further to its press release dated July 15th, 2021, Drone Delivery Canada Corp. (TSXV: FLT) (OTCQX: TAKOF) (Frankfurt: A2AMGZ) (Frankfurt: ABB.F) (the "Company" or "DDC") is pleased to announce that effective October 18th, 2021, its University of British Columbia ("UBC") drone delivery solution at the Stellat'en First Nation for UBC's 'Remote Communities Drone Transportation Initiative' ("DTI") program is commercially operational.
