## Quick answer

Toronto Region Conservation Authority permit required; drones prohibited without separate approval.

## Detailed answer

Contact TRCA for commercial permits. The Leslie Street Spit is an active construction zone and bird sanctuary. Shoots near the lighthouse require escort coordination. No fees for non-commercial use.
