Airport Closure Information

Last updated: Jul 24, 2025
Closure Date

Unknown. The identifier CA-0324 refers to a minor, likely private, landing site that was not an officially registered aerodrome with Transport Canada. Its closure was not officially documented and is only noted in some third-party, non-governmental aviation databases.

Reason for Closure

Unknown. Given that this was not a public airport, the closure was likely due to private reasons such as the cessation of use by the property owner, sale of the land, or the site falling into disrepair. There is no evidence of closure due to a major accident, economic failure of a public facility, or military conversion.

Current Status

The coordinates point to a private, wooded, and residential area on the west side of St. Mary Lake on Salt Spring Island, British Columbia. Satellite imagery shows no visible remnants of a runway, helipad, or any aviation infrastructure. The land is currently used as private property.

Historical Significance

This site holds no known historical significance. The identifier CA-0324 and the name 'Saltspring Island Airport' in this context are misleading, as they do not refer to a major or public airport. It was most likely a small, private airstrip or heliport intended for personal use by a single landowner, handling only light private aircraft or helicopters. The primary, historically significant, and active aviation facilities on the island are the Salt Spring (Ganges) Airport (CAX6) and the Ganges Water Aerodrome (CYGG).

Reopening Prospects

None. There are no known plans or prospects to reopen this site as an aviation facility. It was never a public airport, and the aviation needs of Salt Spring Island are adequately served by the existing Salt Spring (Ganges) Airport (CAX6) and Ganges Water Aerodrome (CYGG).
