Project Hummingbird is a [[ROEB-Digital Transformation|ROEB Digital Transformation]] initiative supported by [[Health Canada's Solutions Fund]]. The goal was to test the value of data acquired through satellites and drones to enhance inspections involving outdoor cannabis licence holders. The core technology tested as part of the experiment is called “remote sensing,” but the goal of the experiment was to understand, test, and showcase opportunities that went beyond the science or the technology. The experiment included components of infrastructure, legal frameworks, ethics, operationalization, cost and other considerations. The experiment began in 2019 through a Solutions Fund Stream I. It expects to closeout the Stream II portion of the experiment in June 2021.

 

The journey has taken us to so many places through pivots and working through challenges. The pandemic created even greater opportunities that allowed for accelerated learning, which was only possible due to the amazing people involved in the project. Without their openness, flexibility, agility and willingness to be vulnerable to unknown outputs, the project would not be a success.
