Sturdee Airport

The specific reason is not officially documented, as Sturdee Airport was a small, private airstrip. The most likely reason for its closure is abandonment by the owner and the subsequent conversion of the land back to full agricultural use. This is a common outcome for private airfields due to economic factors, the owner ceasing aviation activities, or the sale of the property.

The site of the former airport is now actively used as agricultural land. High-resolution satellite imagery confirms that the area where the runway once existed is now a cultivated field, with no visible traces of its past use as an airfield.

Sturdee Airport holds no significant national or regional historical importance. It was a simple, private turf runway serving a very limited purpose. Its operations would have consisted of small, single-engine general aviation aircraft. The airfield was likely used for private recreational flying, personal transportation for the landowner, or potentially for agricultural aviation (crop dusting). The ICAO identifier 'CA-0370' is not an official code assigned by Transport Canada but rather an unofficial identifier used in non-governmental aviation databases, which further underscores its status as a private, unregistered aerodrome.

There are no known plans or prospects for reopening Sturdee Airport. The land is privately owned and is currently being farmed. Re-establishing an airport at this location would require significant investment and the conversion of productive agricultural land, making it highly improbable.
