Bredenbury Airport

Cessation of private use and abandonment. While no single official reason is publicly documented, small private aerodromes like Bredenbury are typically closed when the owner no longer has an aircraft, sells the land, can no longer afford the upkeep, or passes away. There is no evidence to suggest closure was due to a specific accident, military conversion, or broader economic downturn affecting a public facility, as it was a private strip.

The site is now defunct and has reverted to agricultural land. Satellite imagery of the coordinates confirms the former runway is still faintly visible as a linear feature on the ground, but it is completely overgrown with grass and is indistinguishable from the surrounding pasture or fallow fields. There are no remaining aviation markings, buildings, or infrastructure such as a windsock or hangar. The land is privately owned and used for farming. The airstrip is completely unusable for any type of aircraft.

Bredenbury Airport was a registered private aerodrome. Its significance was entirely local, serving the needs of its private owner(s) for personal and utility aviation. Located in a major agricultural region of Saskatchewan, its operations likely included supporting agricultural activities such as crop dusting, in addition to private recreational flying. It was a simple grass/turf runway and never supported commercial, scheduled, or significant general aviation traffic. The identifier CA-0060 is a non-official code, often used in third-party databases for aerodromes without an official ICAO or Transport Canada location identifier, underscoring its status as a minor, private facility.

There are no known plans or prospects for reopening Bredenbury Airport. As the site is on private agricultural land and has been unmaintained for over 15 years, re-establishing it as an aerodrome would require significant investment and effort by the current landowner, including clearing, grading, and re-registering the site with Transport Canada. Given the lack of any public or commercial need for an airport at this specific location, the prospect of it reopening is considered effectively zero.
