Circa late 1990s to early 2000s. The exact date is not documented, but the aerodrome was removed from official publications like the Canada Flight Supplement (CFS) during this period, indicating it had ceased operations.
The official reason for closure is not publicly documented, which is common for small, privately-owned airfields. The closure was most likely due to economic factors, the sale of the land for other uses (agriculture or development), or a personal decision by the owner to cease operations. There is no evidence to suggest it was closed due to a specific accident or for military conversion.
The airport is permanently closed and no longer exists. An examination of the coordinates reveals the site has been completely converted back into agricultural land. The faint outline of the former runway is still visible on satellite imagery as a linear feature within a cultivated field, but all aviation infrastructure has been removed. The surrounding area is a mix of farmland and light industrial development.
St-Joseph-De-St-Hyacinthe was a small, private general aviation aerodrome. Its significance was purely local, serving as a base for recreational pilots and private aircraft owners in the Saint-Hyacinthe region. Operations would have consisted of light, single-engine aircraft for personal travel and flight training. It typically featured a single unpaved (grass or gravel) runway and minimal facilities, characteristic of a private farm strip or a small flying club field.
There are no known plans or prospects for reopening this airport. The land has been fully repurposed for agriculture, and its value for farming or potential development far outweighs its potential as a small airfield. The general aviation needs of the area are served by the still-active Saint-Hyacinthe Airport (CSU3), located approximately 10 km to the northeast.
