Beyond permits for educational purposes, the city is not awarding permits for this activity on any Parkland area within the city. Although this severely hampers our efforts to bring a safe and fun environment for our members and the general public, we do have a field outside of the city that we can use to fly to our fullest potential. If you would like to join us, please subscribe to the list mentioned above.
Notice: The Edmonton Rocketry Club is always on a search for a large field within an hours drive of Edmonton to be a potential site for a high power rocket launch.
Are you interested in watching or participating in a high power launch and have such a field or know someone who does?
If so, please read the following information for more details:
The site would ideally be between 1 to 2 km square (a section or two of grazing land would be ideal), with a minimum of trees. The site would be used a minimum of once per year up to a maximum of 4 times per year. Any launches conducted on the site will be under the rules and regulations of the Canadian Association of Rocketry, (CAR), and with the formal written approval of Transport Canada. Please note that every person launching these high powered rockets are required to be a C.A.R. member. Please Contact Us anytime regarding a launch site potential. |
