DJI has partnered with Best Buy to celebrate Canada’s 150 years of confederation in a very unique way. They used some of DJI’s amazing drones to film 5 great Canadians in their favourite places in Canada. Watch the video to see and learn what these Canadians love about their country. Then share the video for a chance to win one of many $150 Best Buy gift cards.
Watch the full #CaptureYourCanada video now:
What is Canada 150
On July 1st, 1867 four provinces were united to form the Dominion of Canada. Now, 150 years later, Canadians celebrate the anniversary of that date with events happening all over the country throughout the year. We are a much more complex nation than way back then. Canada has grown to now include 10 provinces and 3 territories. We as a people have also grown to be more appreciative of our land, and of the original diverse, resilient, and courageous First Nations’ indigenous cultures who protected this land for millennia.
What did DJI and Best Buy do to help Canadians celebrate
DJI and Best Buy used drones to capture some amazing video footage of some great Canadians. Watch the video above and you’ll see each of these Canadians discuss their favourite place in Canada. Featured in the video are:
Rick Hansen – Man in Motion
Ashley Callingbull – Mrs. Universe 2015
Alexandre Bilodeau – Champion Freestyle Skier
Cory Joseph – Toronto Raptor
Jann Arden – Singer/Song Writer
and the featured drones that were used are:
Obviously they couldn’t capture every favourite spot in a country as vast as ours, so they chose 5 places that are important to 5 inspiring Canadians. Each and every Canadian probably has their own favourite spot (mine is on Mayne Island, British Columbia!). Perhaps you can reflect on your own favourite location in Canada as you attempt to win one of the $150 gift cards we are giving away in this contest. If you win, you might decide to put the gift card towards your dream drone at Best Buy.

My current favourite is the Mavic Pro because it has the right balance between portability and quality for my daily lifestyle adventures.
