The new Sky Canoe headquarters in Port Perry, Ont. will not only be an aircraft hangar providing testing, pilot training and offices for the Noozhoo Nokiiyan LP (NNLP), it will also help connect remote First Nation communities and strengthen trade links. The co-working spaces will attract start-ups and professionals from other nearby First Nation communities while the drone delivery service will be fostering inter-community trade links with other First Nations in more remote parts of the country. The facility will be one-storey, 4,000 sq.ft. Sky Canoe produces autonomous, zero-emissions, long-range cargo aircrafts dedicated to creating connectivity, economic development and a sustainable cargo solution for the low carbon economy. The facility will be constructed of mainly wood framing combined with structural steel in a hybrid configuration. The façade consists of matching metal siding and roofing with cedar siding at the ends of the building as well as the main entrance. The interior will be comprised of exposed concrete floor slab and exposed timber with open ceilings. A portion of the building will have a mezzanine above to house the mechanical equipment as well as provide for additional office space in the future.
