Jeannie Stewart-Smith has been developing federal transportation policy for more than 13 years and has found herself on small fishing boats in Eastern Canada, hiking trails with colleagues in Yellowknife, and talking to scientists about the impacts of shipping noise on endangered whales. In 2017, when Transport Canada created a team to respond to the growing use of drones, Jeannie jumped on board (or behind the control station…) and is now the Manager and Senior Policy Advisor for Remotely Piloted Aircraft Systems Policy, Regulations and Outreach.
