Non-Governmental Organization (NGO): An entity with an association that is based on interests of its members, individuals, or institutions. It is not created by a government, but it may work cooperatively with government. Such organizations serve a public purpose, not a private benefit. Examples of NGOs include faith-based charity organizations and the Canadian Red Cross.

Notice to Airmen (NOTAM):  Temporary airspace restrictions for non-emergency aircraft in the incident area.  NOTAMS are established by Transport Canada to ensure aircraft safety.
