Nanton (Green Farms) Airport

The airport was a privately owned and operated aerodrome. Closures of such facilities are typically due to a private owner's decision. This can be influenced by factors such as the sale of the property, the owner ceasing aviation activities, retirement, or the costs and liability associated with maintaining a registered aerodrome. There is no indication that it was closed due to a specific accident, regulatory action, or military conversion.

The airport is permanently closed and has been fully decommissioned. Current satellite imagery of the coordinates (50.383335, -113.666664) shows that the land has been returned to agricultural use. The faint outline of the former north-south runway is still visible within a cultivated field, but no aviation infrastructure, such as hangars or markings, remains. The site is now indistinguishable from the surrounding farmland.

Nanton (Green Farms) Airport was a small, private general aviation aerodrome. Its identifier, CA-0257, was assigned by Transport Canada. According to the 2006 Canada Flight Supplement, it was operated by Green Acre Farms Ltd. and featured a single turf runway (16/34) measuring 2600 by 75 feet. Its primary purpose was likely to support the agricultural business and private flying activities of its owners. It is important not to confuse this small, modern airstrip with the historic RCAF Station Nanton, a major World War II training base for the British Commonwealth Air Training Plan (BCATP), which was located at a different site southwest of the town and is now the location of the Nanton Lancaster Air Museum.

There are no known plans or prospects for reopening Nanton (Green Farms) Airport. The land is privately owned and is being actively farmed. Re-establishing an aerodrome would require significant investment and initiative from the current landowner, as well as re-registration with Transport Canada. Given its conversion back to agriculture, a reopening is considered extremely unlikely.
