The Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) have implemented a temporary no-fly zone over the skies of Caledon for the duration of the RBC Canadian Open. The restriction, announced on June 9, 2026, is designed to ensure the safety and security of the event, which attracts thousands of spectators and participants.
Details of the No-Fly Zone
The no-fly zone prohibits all unauthorized aircraft, including drones, from operating within a specified radius of the golf course. The OPP emphasized that this measure is critical to prevent potential disruptions or security threats. Violators could face significant penalties, including fines and legal action.
Enforcement and Public Response
Police will actively monitor the airspace using radar and visual surveillance. The public is urged to comply with the restrictions and report any suspicious drone activity. This initiative aligns with standard protocols for major sporting events in Canada.
The RBC Canadian Open, a premier golf tournament, is expected to draw top players and large crowds. The no-fly zone will remain in effect until the conclusion of the event. Organizers have praised the OPP for their proactive approach to security.
