It’s been a few years and I’ve not kept up on this…so just to clarify. No ADS-B requirement? Online I see that the Navcanada site says the mandates will start being implemented later this year for high altitude, and eventually getting down to our level in 2026. We are thinking about another trip in early June so I’m starting to get my ducks in a row.

I'm curious if it indicates whether Canada will have "rule airspace" (class A/B/C) like the US,
or will ADS-B be required everywhere?
