Proposal · Mount Currie, British Columbia
A proposal to fly medical supplies to remote BC communities by autonomous drone.
A blood sample drawn in Skatin waits a day for someone to drive it out. A prescription waits for the road to reopen. MILKRUN would fly it instead — same route, same time, every day.
Pharmacy resupply and urgent single doses.
Kept cold and temperature-logged the whole way.
Flown out same day, results back same day.
Naloxone, epinephrine, trauma supplies on demand.
The network
Phase one would fly from a base at Mount Currie into the Lillooet Lake valley — places that today take hours of forest service road.
Estimated flight times
Lifts straight up off a 3 m painted circle.
Designed to fly through icing, gusts and valley fog.
Subject to Transport Canada approval, watched from the ground.
How a run would work
A clinician seals the cooled box and scans it.
The drone flies itself, tracked the whole way.
It lands on the pad and unlocks by code.
For health authorities, First Nations health partners, labs and pharmacies.
