Seeing as there's a Hwy 404 interchange with 16 Avenue, my suspicion is that a collision analyst was doing a drone survey of a traffic accident.
Drones have become very popular with the police for collision analysis.
Why the training of YRP collision analysts for drones fails to address CARS and NavCanada requirements speaks to gross incompetence of instructors and management.
Likely the aircraft insurer is already in discussion with YRP for the cost of the teardown, and replacement of cowling and various parts inside. $30K or so. Then the operator may be claiming loss of revenue for a month or two. Even the instructors could claim for loss of income.

YRP’s insurer will pay, and who ends up paying in the long run? We do, because our premiums go up.Why the training of YRP collision analysts for drones fails to address CARS and NavCanada requirements speaks to gross incompetence of instructors and management.

I speculate that the YRP will just pay themselves.YRP’s insurer will pay,

You may be right ... even then it's still public money.

Damages will be into six figures and the plane will be down for six to eight weeks.
Loss in earnings will be about $5k per week, engine tear down will be $30k, new prop $10k, cowl repairs and repaint $10k, new engine mount and miscellaneous items also damaged another $10k.
You wouldn’t be able to replace that aircraft for less than $100k and it will still take you 8 weeks to get one online, so the loss of revenue isn’t mitigated.
